A good healthy layer should start laying about age 5/6 months and continue to lay past it's 2nd year. Production often slows after the hen reaches about two years old but they can still lay a few times a week up to 3 years old. After that you will be running a retirement home for chickens unless you use them as brood hens which they will continue to do for many years.
