How long do chickens live?

Many chickens will live over 5 years, some 8 to 10 years. Occasionally I have heard of chickens living for 15 years. You should take into consideration that old birds are very hard to sell and are likely to live at least 5 years in the right conditions. Egg numbers will reduce every year and a general rule of thumb is that they decrease by about 10% every year.
