It depends on the breed. The commercial birds are breed to lay eggs like crazy, for a short time. Some of the heritage breeds, can live for 10 years....they will lay fewer eggs each year though. Peppermint (the chicken in Day 17) is over 4 years old now....happy to do a zoom meeting for kids to ask more questions. You can contact me through fb

They really do all have their own personalities...
One of my students would like to know how old chickens live to be.
