If your chickens are only a year old, I don't think you need to get rid of them yet... I think most breeds are still productive through 2-3 years. Of course the rate of lay will be slower than a fresh laying pullet of a high production breed, but if you just want eggs, I wouldn't worry too much over declining rates on chickens that young.
