Rubbish. This guy is talking about hens that are 60 weeks old. I've been keeping hens since 1968 and have had cracking quality eggs from 3 year old hens (not many, granted). The quality of the egg is down to what they feed on, not their age, the only thing that changes with age is the frequency of laying. If I look back at my experience, the vast majority of double yolkers I have had (a sure sign of hen health) has been in their second year. He is selling them because their lay rate has dropped, fair enough, but it doesn't follow that eggs from old hens are inferior. You get more misshapen and pale eggs from hens that are just starting to lay than you get from 'old' hens.
