15 years old, and still laying some eggs, that's amazing. I have had several get to be 9 years old, but never beyond that. I have one now a leghorn crossed with a black star that is 9 this summer. We'll see if she keeps going. She did lay some eggs last summer. Not many. The last one I had that was 9 was doing really well, but she started to have rooster characteristics. She would crow, grew spurs, and her comb got bigger and bright red. I had leaned that this could happen in my HS ag classes, but had never seen it until then. You can read about it on the feather site. She was so healthy, but one night I forgot to close the coup, and she along with my two other roosters were laying dead in the morning. I have coons and coyotes here, not sure which one got them.
