They can live 15 years if they are healthy and taken care of. If the chickens live on a farm, the farmers butcher them at only 2 years because their egg production slows down. Some chickens are killed to eat and shipped to stores at 2 months old. These "fryers" are 7 to 13 weeks old.

"Commercial chickens" live a short and sad life of only 1 1/2 years. :( But pet chickens that are healthy and very lucky can live up to 15 to 20 years!! ^_^ Do more research to find out more.

It's true that commercial chickens do live a short life of only 1 1/2 years, but pet chickens do not live up to 15-20 years. The oldest chicken ever recorded for its age is Matilda who turned out to be 16 years old. The average lifespan of a pet chicken taking into consideration it is well taken care of will live up to about 6-8 years. If you are lucky it might live longer but I doubt that.

It takes chicks about four months from the time they are hatched to the time they are pullets. After six months the hens should begin laying eggs, which they will do for two or three years. Chickens typically live about four to five years, unless Colonel Sanders catches them first. Fryers are generally butchered after four to six months, and hens go into the soup when they quit laying.

What goes first the chicken or the egg?

If you "Came" and not "Goes", then I may have a solution. Think about this, can a chicken survive without an egg, yes, of course the chicken can survive without an egg. But, can an egg survive without a chicken, no, the egg must have the chicken to keep it warm. So, the obvious answer is that the chicken came before the egg.

Which came 1st the chicken egg or the chicken?

From an evolutionist's point of view, the egg came first. A chicken, by definition, must be born from an egg. The egg does not have to be a chicken's egg however. The egg could be layed by an avian that is very similar to a chicken, but which is not a chicken. A small mutation in the genes produces the chicken offspring, which in turn lays eggs to produce more young.
