Cornish-rock chickens can live a long life if their diet is controlled. However, due to their fast growth Cornish-rock crosses begin to develop health problems such as Arthritis after eight weeks old. The chickens were bred specifically to put on a lot of weight in a very short period of time, not for longevity. Their weight is much greater than their frame can support and it is not advisable to keep these birds much longer than 8 weeks.
i have two of them and if u dont eat them and dont feed them too much, they lived for 1.5 years and their still healthy
Intensively farmed chickens live for about a year if they are laying hens. Intensively farmed meat birds live for as little as 39 days.
Most chickens live 7-9 years. It really depends on what kind of strain the chickens come from (show quality, production quality), and how the chickens have been raised, and what type of conditions they live in.
5 to 6 years is average with some going into their teens.
Chickens prefer a social group (flock) but will do well as long as they have human contact.
U can keep chickens anywhere long as they r comfortable. each chicken should hav 6-8 square metres. our chickens hav a bit more but not for long coz we've got 8 gorge chicks almost ready to be moved in! how much space would you b willing 2 give up? and how many chickens would you keep? hope this helps.
Cornish Rock chickens are a cross that is bred solely for meat. They normally don't live long enough to lay eggs. They are bred to grow too fast so they are prone to have heart attacks if allowed to grow much past broiler stage. If they don't die they will be crippled due to gaining so much weight while their bones are mostly just gristle. It would be cruel to allow a cornish rock to live past broiler stage.
They live for 4-6 yearsThanks.
Chickens may live in hutchs, they dont need to run as long as the hutch is big enough for the amount of chickens you own.
As long as the chicken cage has a high enough roof, a galah can certainly live in the same area as chickens.
Chickens can live for 12+ years if they are well taken care of.

If healthy, 8-10 years

'My chickens only live to about 11 years'.Some of my hens didn't even live for around 4 years old! My first hen had to be put down because it had a broken leg and wing! :-( My eldest sister's died of an illness. And my little sister's died of old age.
Only up to 5 days at most
