Their entire lives, but they slow down as they get older. I believe at about 2-3 years old. My GLW is down from 5-6 eggs a week to 3-4 and she is just over 3 years old.

They can live 10 yrs or so and lay eggs the whole time. They do slow down after a few yrs. I read a post the other day from someone that had a 10 yr old hen and said she still lays almost daily.
