Oldest hen you know of?

[chickchickchicken]

just wondering how old is the oldest hen you know of. One of ours is about 7 and our vet says she is doing very well for her age. All our hens are warrens/hybrids ex battery

There was a trio of pekins in 'Practical Poultry' before Christmas that were 16 years old. Not laying, though. My oldest pekins are coming up to 3, and I hope to have them with us for some time yet

wow 16.
would be great to have her for a few more years. she is a real character
havent known any pekins, will go and google

pekins are very very pretty

I have a bantie maran who is coming up to 10 this year and she is still laying!

We had a bantam cross, Goldie....we had her a couple of years before we moved here, she was a grown up chicken when we got her, and she died in 2009, so at least eleven.

cats - sorry about Goldie, 11 an amazing age though

ingles - that is amazing

am hoping ours lives a few more years. she was our first hen and is very special - and i never thought i would say that about a chicken!

Wow Ingles. That is super impressive.

Pekins are fabulous, and arsey little madams

nowt wrong with a bit of attitude
