| The oldest i owned was 19 years old Dark Hen and the oldest i brought from a sale was a 16 year old Blue Pied Cock Janssen van den Bosch the oldlines of Albert Babbington
He filled his eggs hit and miss but when he was 18 years old he got out of his stock section spent 2 hours on the roof then came onto the racing loft roof walked around then flow up into the sky and went out of site |

| When I bought some birds from holand last year, I fancied this blue hen, the chap i bought from said she was 12 years old and came from a briliant loft, he had had her with a load of stock birds and she was too old to try and sell so he gave her to me saying, he didnt think she would still breed, but the loft she came from wouldnt have kept her this long if she wasnt speciall. Well she paired up laid, and now has 2 loverly little babies lucky me. Thats the oldest hen I have lol. |
