foulbird Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 can chickens live? Polly is in her 8th or 9th year. How long can I reasonably expect to have her with me? Every mornig I wake up and worry that she didn't make it through the night. She's just started laying again after hardly any eggs from her last year. She's the last of four girls. Have her hormones been kickstarted by having young hens around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Is she a hybrid or a pure breed? I've heard of hens living to 13 or so, but that is very rare - I would say that 8/9 years old is pretty exceptional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
