I still have one one of her "litter mates", a Welsummer, who survived an attack from our neighbor's dog when she was 2, and still lays a couple of eggs a week. She walks with a limp from the attack, but is otherwise healthy. I also have 2 hens that are 7...a Chanticleer and a Speckled Sussex. Both are still laying, although the Chantcleer has never laid a lot of eggs. She is beautiful, however, and beloved by my granddaughters. I have sadly lost several of my girls to foxes, a dog, and a raccoon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613339135823962078.post-48651565015341111452017-04-14T02:37:44.931-04:002017-04-14T02:37:44.931-04:00I have a chicken that's 10years old and still ...I have a chicken that's 10years old and still rearing chicks.

Along with a bunch of chickens came 28 spanish turkeys and a few dozen canadian geese and an old duck.Some of these birds were here when I was in my 20s. One being that old duck. We figured Lucky was about 20 years old and some of those chickens as well! Not sure how they squeaked by but they did. Duck has died, but I have one hen still and she is a spry old thing. She used to hatch upwatds of 12 chicks at a time! Now I'm lucky to get an egg now and again! Chicken menopause.
