Move over, fancy record-breaking dogs and cats—there’s a new (very old) queen in town. Gertie, a 15-year-old Golden Sebright chicken from Maine, just earned the Guinness World Record as the oldest living chicken on the planet. Blind, bossy, and living her best indoor retirement life complete with human conversations and “pup pup pup” replies, she has outlasted entire flocks and even survived multiple waves of aggressive younger hens. At this rate, Gertie might still be ruling the roost when her owner needs a walker.
