A well cared for chicken in a safe protected environment can reach ages up to 12 years and longer. Most hens do not make that ripe old age as the older a bird gets the tougher the meat is. Most farms grow duel purpose birds so that after the chicken has stopped producing eggs they can be used for their meat.
Depends on the breed and the quality of its care. Most breeds can live up to 10 years and more if properly cared for.
