Buff Orpington with arrested development? She's not growing up!

Sounds like you are doing fine, did you first do a see no touch? I had a broody and her chick separated but always visible and when she came back in, there was still fighting and pecking as a new order is establishing so it's just going to take a bit of time then maybe a few weeks of calm for laying to come back, just keep a eye on everything good luck

Blondie's caged area was located under the nest boxes so she's always been within sight of the hens on one side. So the hens checked her out all of the time, and she became more confident as they couldn't get to her. She's doing great, but I'm not sure if she's starting laying again as she was.
