Best Answer: Helena is 110% correct. I have chickens and rooster and even I was not sure so I went online. Average chicken/rooster lives 6-8yrs though they have been recorded to live as long as 15yrs. . . . . all like Helena says.
Much depends on the care your chicken receives as well as hereditary factors. However, lifespan doesn't equal egg laying and old chickens lay infrequently, if at all. According to the Montana State University Extension, no one knows a laying hen's lifespan. Commercial egg producers cull layers (called battery hens) when they're one to three years old. Meat birds are slaughtered at six to eight weeks. Backyard flocks see hens living more than five years, with a few living to eight or more years. The oldest recorded hen lived to a ripe old age of 16. How old a layer will live depends on care. Hens fed a balanced diet will live longer than one that is malnourished. Proper parasite management, internal and external, can keep your hens healthy.
