As a kid, my dad raised chickens in the back yard. Mostly for eggs although we did have fried chicken a lot. Anyway, other than feeding them and cleaning out the coop, I know next to nothing about raising them.

What is the life span of a chicken, anyway? Assuming you don’t eat them.

Interesting question. I looked it up and the average seems to be about seven years, but the extreme may be 15 - 20 years. Wow.
