I know... it was Little Chicken who added the bit about dressing up in women's clothes which is not what made Michael Ball gay...

Yet egg laying chickens are usually killed before 2 years of age (when they cease to turn a profit), and chicks raised for their flesh are killed at just 6 weeks of age.Male chicks have no economic value to the egg industry.hickens naturally can live up to 12 years.

Naturally, this will depend on the conditions under which they're kept. Pet chickens that are properly cared for can live a relatively long time--longer than dogs, sometimes.
