How long do broiler chickens live? As pets

[Son Driven]

I have 3 broiler chickens all 9 weeks old. They don't look fully big, they are yoing and they chirp, I just give rice, grains and scraps as food. And they are very active. May be after it grows fully matured, i might free range it around the house. I'm not planning to kill them for meat at all. I want to know how long they will live like this :/

I have 2 Cornish cross hen's and one rooster that missed their butcher dates. They are all big and healthy not quite a Year. I had one gifted to me by a friend of a friend. I suspect she is a couple years old.

I enjoy a good adventure. In 2013 Hiked the Appalachian Trail, 2019 paddled the Mississippi River. If you ever travel this way we have a work for stay primitive camp ground.

My concern is that she was fattened up for market and I can’t put her with others as she can’t really move fast enough to protect herself. I have her in a pen outside during day so she can see everyone but she has no belly or bottom feathers. She stays in a stock tank in my garage in evening because she can’t get in coop by herself and she’s unable to roost like a normal hen.

I got 2 when they were 2 weeks old, an uneducated mother had got them as 1 day old baby chicks for her daughter, and after 2 weeks the landlord said : they have to GO !“ so there I was, they were eating ( and pooping) machines very nice and cute, but after 9 weeks I had to process them, they got highest quality baby chicken feed ( over €70/25 kg bag) but the last week, they were laying and not walking a lot any more, my own chickens beat the poor thing up when they got the chance ( 2 times, I thought the big ones were already all in the coop, but no, not all of them )
Here a picture when they were 2 months old , poor babies

It was good, cos one of them already had a „split“ breast muscle, must have hurt the poor thing
