Janty Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I realise that this is a how long is a piece of string question but I have a three year old pekin who has always been a bit runty (bless her) but she looks really tired now. I was wondering how old other people's pekins have lived until. I know that Nugget is unusual and probably won't make her full life expectancy but she is a feisty character and we will miss her when she goes. Hubby asked me tonight (he has a soft spot for Nuggs) and I had to confess that I wasn't sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madchickenlady Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I think the average life span is around 6 years, but it depends on the bird I think. One of my poultry friends has a 12 year old pekin, and it still (rarely) lays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
