Chicken in Michigan is World's Oldest

(Chelsea, MI) - A chicken in Michigan definitely has something to cackle about.

 

The bird is the World’s oldest chicken. The chicken named Peanut is 21 years old.

 

Experts say the average life span for a chicken not heading to market is five to 10 years.

 

Reports indicate Peanut lives on a chicken farm near Detroit. 

 

The bird is much like a pet, coming when called and riding in her owner’s coat pocket while she’s doing her chores.

 

The chicken also loves yogurt.
