For a farm bird, a lifespan exceeding 20 years is a very respectable result. It is noteworthy that for this achievement, the chicken was able to become a world record holder.

At the time the Guinness Book of Records recorded the achievement, the chicken was over 20 years old, which is an incredible lifespan.

However, before that there was a chicken that managed to live for a total of more than 23 years. On average, it is rare for a bird to live for more than ten years.
