My last little hen Lucy just passed from old age. She was roughly 12 years old, the oldest chicken I've had. I got to hold her when I visited my parents this summer, and my mom said that she just passed in her sleep, very peaceful, so it's ok. Charlie the little rooster is alone now, but my mom has him in the house and she's keeping an eye on him. He has a lot of activity around to keep him occupied, plus my mom is making sure he'll be cuddled and held so he doesn't get too lonely. Adding hens isn't really an option unfortunately, so he's going to be a babied house chicken now. I really wish I was home to hold him, but I can't be there right now. At least I know he's being taken care of 
at least he has company… bless yall 
12 years is very old for a chicken, you've done well with her .
