Pet Roosters
Banshee and Bullee. 2019 hatch Brothers now over the rainbow bridge. Banshee passed away 11 days after Bullee.
People ask "How old do roosters get?"
The answer depends entirely on circumstance. I have older roosters still on active duty into their 8th year, while others pass over early for various reasons. The average lifespan for a chicken with good luck is 5-8 years.
There are chickens older than 12 years old, so if you take on a chicken as a pet, make sure that you can commit for the same timespan as keeping a dog or cat. Pet chickens will give you as much, if not more, pleasure than other pets with their quirky personalities.
