chickens start laying at four to six monts old, and live to eight to ten years old. Around the age of three their egg production decreases as they age. Hens need around 14 hours of daylight to keep egg production normal for the breed of chicken. During winter, once daylight drops below 12 hours, production can decrease and may stop altogether depending on where you live.
