Hens typically have a productive lifespan of around 5 to 7 years, although some can live longer. Most commercial laying hens are kept for about 1 to 2 years, as their egg production declines after this period. After reaching this age, many farmers may choose to cull them for various reasons, including reduced egg yield. However, individual hens can live up to 10 years or more if kept as pets and provided with proper care.
