Layer Hens may live in backyard flocks for 6-8 years, and most flocks will produce eggs for 3-4 years. The level of egg production, egg size, and shell quality decrease each year. Most commercial layers are kept for 2-3 years as their egg production decreases after this time..

Layers lay the most eggs in their first two years, usually reaching peak production around 30 weeks of age
