Same goes for Michael Ball... he's alleged to be gay and it's an open secret in theatreland, according to a pal who's a west end musician, having played in the orchestra of two musicals that Michael has been in!Ignore the fact that he lives with Cathy McGowan... could tell you a few things and name names but don't want to embarrass MB if he looks on here! 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...
Chickens naturally can live up to 12 years. 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.

Due to their vulnerability, the average age of a backyard chicken is only about 3 or 4 years, although I feel that with special protection and care it would not be unreasonable to expect 7 or 8 years. My oldest hen is a New Hampshire red/blue bantam cochin mix named Sarah.She is 11 years old and still laying.elieve it or not, chickens have quite an impressive lifespan! The maximum age of a chicken is around 25 years. It's very rare for a chicken to live that long, however, because they are so vulnerable to predators and disease.
