Do elder hen hens and roostros die?

[Pilgor]

Do the elder hen hens & roostros die? I haven't gotten around to testing this, if I let them roam freely on the ranch, would they eventually die from old age? Cause the crops have a life span, and phosphor slimes have life spans (I mean when they are out in the open, the sun rises, & they burst into stars). So would the elders die if I let them roam around?

Puddle Slimes like the sounds of the chickens clucking, for some reason, Puddle Slimes plort make when I allow chickens to roam near their pond.

Elder Chickens can live forever, but they have no other purpose than to be fed to slimes.

Oh ♥♥♥♥, puddle slimes like chickens around??? I've been playing this game on and off for years and never knew!!! I'm starting a "retirement home" for elder henhens and roostros (it's a reward for managing survive to old age, and also just for fun :3) so now I know imma have to scooch it over to the puddle slimes once I unlock em again! :D

I had a blast with chickens in SR1. Once I destroyed the coop with chickens, but forgot to feed them to slimes. After that chickens got hold of ALL ranch except Docks. So I decided to make chicken tribes, some "wars", some were executed, thrown into the slime sea... Yeah Chickens are funny :)
