Lucy was broody for about 2 weeks when we finally got her to stop. She was sitting on the other hens' eggs. She hasn't layed for the last 3 weeks. Is this normal?
 
Has it been 3 weeks since you broke her? If so she might start laying in the next week.
IMO it's usually about a month.
They don't lay for a while when they're raising chicks.

It's been 3 weeks since she became broody. She did not hatch any eggs as there are no roosters. During the two weeks she was broody, I removed the eggs and took her out of the nest several times a day. Sometimes she just sat in the nesting box without eggs. At night she would be in the nesting box instead of roosting.
