We have a number of different kinds of chickens. Barred Rocks, Cochins, Frizzles, Silkies, Marans and Americanas. They have lived from 3 years to 6 years and counting. We started our flock when our son was in kindergarten. He is now in 5th grade. Of the original birds, two of the five are still alive. Two died at the hands of coyotes and one died of natural causes at 4 years old. We have another 4 year old that is dying now. They are strong birds and can take alot. One of our oldest birds broke a leg 3 years ago. We set the fracture in our laundry room with tongue depressors. The wound healed beautifully and she is thriving. Another bird had a prolapse of her intestine due to a stuck egg. We simply pushed everythin back in place and she recovered. We are not doctors or chicken experts, just a family with chicks. You can keep these birds going a long time.
Finally, chickens kept in a safe place away from the dangers of foxes, raccoons and other predators can live a bit more than ten years. Not all breeds can last this long. Certainly 4-7 years can be expected.
