I read this...
We have three brown laying hens that are almost finished their laying cycle. They will be two in July. Looking for someone to take them.
Does that mean chickens only lay eggs for two years?

depends on what kind of operation they are running commercial hens are usually done in a couple of years,if I remember right if they are a farm type chicken that one keeps to get a few eggs a day they will lay much longer as they are not caged
