A leghorn, or any egg producing chicken for that matter, will lay eggs for it's entire life if it's egg track remains in good working condition. The efficiency will drop off gradually after the first year of laying, especially after the first molt. Most serious chicken farmers will cull (butcher) the hens off at one and a half to two years old because The production of eggs drops off and the feed fed/eggs received ratio is below the profitable margin.
