Welcome!
Sounds like your hen is 'management' - doesn't work weekends!

Sorry! Couldn't resist....hens will put out an egg once every 25-27 hours, so each day it's a little bit later, then you drop a day. She will likely be back to laying very soon,

Perhaps you can give us a little more information. You say the hen is a year old but "started laying Wednesday" -- are you under the impression that this the first time she has ever laid, the first time she laid since you acquired her if she's a recent addition or is she resuming production after taking a break for broodiness, etc?
No, she is not "mad" at you for taking the eggs or on strike. Anytime a bird resumes/begins production there will be a bit of an adjustment period as her system gets all the moving parts going in sync again. Also, with the average production expected of 5-6 eggs per week for your hen remember there are going to be regularly occurring days where there are no eggs in between days of consecutive laying.

I only had her for a week as of today. They farm I got her from said she was a year old. She started laying 3 days after I got her and every day except Saturday I don't mind but getting eggs everyday but it was weird how she did the same brok Brock bagoooock as she did the other days and then came out of the coop and no egg I was just curious but she laid today. I have posted in treatment emergency form of some one can check that out would be great. I'm in need of some advise on a sick chicken

I suspected that she might be a newly acquired bird for you - when a bird is moved from one home to another it is a stressor to them --- the reproductive system is often the first system to shut down from stress. It is not at all unusual for a bird to lay an egg (or even two) after first moving - after all, that first egg laid was already *in the works* when she was moved due to the time it takes from start to finish - and then not lay again for a period of days or even weeks. The fact that you did get an egg is encouraging, but dont be surprised if she does not settle into a regular pattern for a while yet.
