She’s laying eggs just fine. I don’t think she’s doing the chicken nasty though.There's a fallacy that chickens are 'past their prime' at 2. This is from the chicken factories that suck the life out of their hens. In a proper homestead with good food and housing and care, they are good for many many more years. They may not lay as many eggs, but they can reproduce just fine.
3 is not old.
