I broke my broody hen. She showed first signs about 12 days ago (I think) and has not nested for about 8-9 days as has been with the flock like normal, but no interest in the nesting box. When can I expect her to start laying again? Thank you!

What are your thoughts about putting hen in a sand box with cage around her? Will that work. Is it necessary for them to be on wire floor? I don’t have a dog crate, but have a wire fence I can set up in the run. Dealing with broody hen X’s 2 days for the 1st time. Thanks!!
