17. Wow, none of mine have ever lived past three.
Edited on Fri Apr-04-08 07:21 PM by Xithras
Though that has something to do with the ax behind the workshop. We keep the hens until they stop laying, and then its into the dinner pot!

I always thought that chickens died of old age by 5 or 6. I've never heard of one living to 9. That's kind of cool!

I'll be honest, it's always hard to take out a chicken after knowing it for a few years (I REALLY wish my kids would stop naming the damned things). I wouldn't be able to do it after 9.

Edit for typo. I' haven't been raising chickens THAT long.
