Healthy chickens can't lay everyday. They'll get salpingitis in less than 3 years. Sometimes they take a break especially in winter and when it's really hot in summer. During this break they rest their reproductive system and reduce inflammation.
Healthy chickens take breaks. We should let them rest sometime. I see forcing chickens to lay 'till they die from it as animal abuse.
Just as practical example, I have 4 laying hens. I got 4 eggs in 2 weeks last month because they all went dormant at the same time. Now they're rested and they've started again.
EDIT: Oh and my chickens free range all day, they have an auto door with light sensor.
