TL;DR Summary

Peanut, a 21-year-old bantam hen from Michigan, has been crowned the world's oldest living chicken by Guinness World Records. Peanut had a rough start in life after being abandoned by her mother, but was nursed back to health by her guardian, Marsi Parker Darwin. Peanut's secret to a long life remains a mystery, but she received plenty of attention and care, along with a nutritious diet. Peanut's age was proven through photographs documenting her growth and interactions with people. While the current record for the oldest chicken is held by Muffy, who lived to be 23, Parker Darwin hopes Peanut will surpass that milestone.
