Breeds that Lay decently for many years...

[MrFarmboy1888]

What are some heritage breeds that lay decently for 4+ years?
As opposed to breeds that lay good for 2+- yrs, and then almost stop laying....
Any long lay breeds you like?
And where do these breeds fall in that spectrum? Fayoumi, Dominique, Buckeye, Chantecler, Leghorn, Icelandic, Kraienkoppe, Cubalaya, Brahma, Catalana, Iowa Blue, Swedish Flower, Dorking, Sussex, Australorp, Americana, any others to compare? Or do not recommend?

Mediterranean and medium feather breeds

I like fayoumi.
Beware that Fayoumis hate the cold. The lay nice for years.
Leghorn are supposed to stop laying after a couple of years, but mine are three years old and lay regularly.

Nice. I like Fayoumi too. And they take our southern kansas level of cold and heat well, but my roosters did get some frostbite on the tips of their combs one of the colder winters but it was not bad. But i would not recommend them for a lot further north, perhaps we are near their northern range. If i was way up in something like MN or canada i would probably focus on Chantecler, Brahma, Buckeye, and Kraienkoppe! Maybe Icelandics.
