how old are hens when they stop laying?

Stopping all together or stopping due to moulting? I have a bantam cochin that is 8 years old and still lays and i know a fella who has a 10 year old hen that lays 12 eggs or so then goes broody. Most hens will lay the best in the first year or 2 it depends alot on the breed.
