Birds are basically today’s lizards and like most lizards can live a very long time and grow throughout their lives. When you think about how big alligators can get in a similar amount of time, it isn’t surprising that chickens can also.
My chickens don't keep growing luckily and I had a few that were over a decade.
That’d be one tough old bird. I wouldn’t eat it either.
I have a 23-year-old ball python. I can confidently say he has not grown throughout his entire life, and has in fact for the last almost two decades stayed at a comfortable 3.5’ long.
Maybe he is going to live a couple centuries and your short window onto his life has foreshortened your view?
