    Guinness World Records has described a hen named Peanut of America as the oldest hen in the world. This hen of the Benton breed has been reared by a retired librarian, Marcy Darwin.

    World’s Oldest Chicken: Usually the life span of chickens is around 5 to 10 years, but today we are going to tell you about a hen whose current age is 20 years 304 days. Recently, Guinness World Records has awarded her the title of ‘world’s oldest hen’. The name of this hen from Michigan, America is Peanut, which belongs to the Bantam breed.
