Who is your oldest chicken (or poultry)?

I’ve seen a few of these threads but most of them are kinda old so thought I’d start a new one
Who is/was your oldest chicken (or other type of poultry)

My oldest hen Brownie will turn 11 in a couples months and currently living out her retirement as a house chicken

All my girls are still super young. (1yr-3mos) Hopefully they make it as long as your Brownie!!

Brownie is adorable!

Senior chickens are so special. I had one live into her early 13th year.

Brownie is a pretty girl! She looks a lot like my Bella who is 8 yrs old.

This is Mama Bird. She is in her 10th year. Always a very sweet and healthy bird. She was a great mama and my first broody at one year old, so that's how she got her name.

My eight large breed hens that I received as chicks from Cackle Hatchery in April 2016 are my oldest collectively. They include 3 Cuckoo Marans, 2 Buff Orpingtons, 1 Austra White, 1 Turken and 1 Golden Laced Wyandotte. They are still healthy and continued laying eggs through last fall. And I have 14 Bantam hens that I also received from Cackle Hatchery in March 2017 that are still going strong including 5 Barred Rocks, 4 Old English Game Creles, 2 Rhode Island Reds, 2 Partridge Cochins and 1 Dominique. They make a pretty flock.

This is Speck, the Sussex, age 7, oldest in our flock of 11. And second oldest is Moonshine, the Sebright, age 6. Moonshine’s pic was taken during the latest below zero event, when I brought her into the basement.

A few years back, Speck was the #1 hen in the flock, and she was quite mean, especially to Moonshine. Now Speck is the lowest in the pecking order, and Moonshine tries to make sure Speck is the last to eat, drink, roost. She tells Speck to get out of the way, and Speck hurries off.

Meet Eggo, my five year old White Leghorn. She’s the last living of our original hens. Unfortunately we’ve had a really bad predator problem in the past and with our girls being free ranged, it ended up in disaster. I still miss all of the girls we’ve lost over the years greatly, but fortunately we do have (for the loses of more recent years) their daughters and sons and grandchildren (lol) to remember them by!

But Eggo is still standing!
