Yes, old chickens taste good when used for chicken soup.
 
You could see if someone is looking for older hens. I currently am looking but I know many that would like to have a hen that ONLY lays a couple eggs a week.
Just a thought in case you didn't want to kill
OMG,
I killed the bird this morning, I actually would have given it away instead.

Sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel bad. I bet it will Taste Great though, even more since you know where it came from :)

Here there are so many people that want Hens for the eggs, then can't understand why there are so many ! Actually most just don't want to deal with the cleaning LOL.

No worries sir, I currently have 14 egg laying hens and this one has been laying eggs for 3yrs now, and is losing feathers, and I wanted to make room in the coop for six more that are 1 month and 3 days old and will move to the coopin June and the one I killed is the hen I think is pecking , breaking and eating .it's own eggs and teaching others to learn the behavior . So

She's gone 😢 now. Lol.

It does sound like it was more than just an issue of getting older and not laying. Egg eaters are just a nightmare, especially when they start teaching others, as yours did.
