Who has the oldest hen?

[Redberry]

I have often wondered this. My oldest hen is an ex-battery chicken called Dizzy, she is 4 years, 6months old and going strong! She still lays enormous eggs approx 4 times per week. Would love to read about your old timers.

for Dizzy and to you for giving her a home. I'd love to hear about others, especially ones still laying.

I have a Buff Orpington hen who is now seven years old. Rarely lays but when she does it's enormous.
