You can buy production roosters from hatcheries, they sell them here in MI in June. Ginger said her later, so I read her post as meaning hen.

The rescues that I have had have not lived long lives. I think the stress, the crowding, the lights to mess with their body clock, etc. all take a toll. We just recently lost our oldest rescue. She was about 4 1/2 years old.
There is stress for them in learning to be a chicken. Learning to deal with not being crowded, learning to eat real food, learning to walk on ground, to roost (many of mine never learn this skill), etc. (They DO learn, mind you! Even my debeaked girls have learned how to catch bugs and be real chickens!)
I have to ask you how you came to have a Roo from a production line?
