My Red Lace Blue Wyandotte had been broody for about a month and a few weeks before we finally broke her using a broody cage. We had her in there for about 28 hours and let her out, and she hasn't gone near the nest since. This was three days ago.
I am wondering when (if?) she will go back to laying eggs or not anytime soon. We are going to process a few birds to eat in the next week or two, and my husband is trying to convince me to eat her as well since she hasn't laid in almost two months. I want to give her a chance to start laying again, but I guess I am not sure if she will. I assume they do start laying again eventually right? Or does going broody kill their ability to lay eggs? I know this is probably a stupid question, but we're new to this.
