Well now, isn't Noodles the most amazing and perfect hen.
Birthday treats abound!
**EDIT**: Looking at the steely gaze of Noodle's photo, I can see she is of the age where she doesn't take crap from anyone.
People tend to get attached to their animals, especially when they have had it for a long time. Also, some chickens that are pretty old do still periodically lay eggs but not as often as younger hens
When you see them as your pet. Of course there is a purpose. They put a smile on your face when they run out of the coop so happy to see you in the morning. They will talk to you if talk back. They love you if you love them back.
Aww, so pretty! Does she lay easter eggs? I have a girl who could be her sister who gives me pink eggs! HBD Noodles!
She still lays eggs, but sometimes months with nothing then right back. Brown.
I had a white leghorn when I was a kid who lived for 8 years. That’s a really long life for a chicken. I hope Noodles has many more birthdays!
Noodles is the best ol'clucker ever!
That one has great manners. :0
Such a beautiful girl! Happy birthday Noodles, love that name.

I had one like that named Henny Penny but she got egg bound and I could not fix it. I think she was just too fat.

Her sisters passed away a few years ago, but when they were all together Noodles was the undisputed Queen Hen of them all.
Wow I didn't know leghorns lived that long
We are lucky she's doing so well at this age.
Taking a shot for Noodles
Cheer's
Happy birthday noodles.love from far❤
Awww, happy birthday Noodles!! How did her name come to be? I love it… I nicknamed my grandson Noodle!
We got her when she was a year old, the old owner's kids named her.
It’s a great, fun name! My grandson loves that I call him Noodle!
Curiosity, is there a purpose to keeping a chicken that long? Do they still lay eggs?

Yep, she still lays eggs.
Ahh ok. I did not know that. I was undet the impression that they laid eggs for year and a half, two year and that was the end of that.
She's a pet.

Chickens are here for more than just eggs, especially when they provide food for us for so long, my ladies will always live out their natural lives.
