Chickens usually don't simply stop laying eggs when they get to a certain age, but they will lay fewer as they get older. That said, most laying breeds will lay more or less productively in backyard terms for five or seven years.We know of one ancient buff orpington cross who still lays an egg occasionally at 17 years old!!hat said, most laying breeds will lay more or less productively in backyard terms for five or seven years.

After 24 to 32 weeks of growing up, your hens will lay an egg almost every day for eight or nine months straight, then take a break for a few weeks to a few months (typically in the winter), and then start laying again. Each time they start laying again, they will lay fewer, but larger, eggs. It is not unusual for a pet hen to lay for five yearsâat which point she may be laying only a couple of eggs a week on averageâand to live even longer.
