Yes usually 2-3 weeks but maybe sooner depends on when she lets the drake begin mating again. I'm glad it was easy. Bless their hearts when they are dedicated it is hard for them to give up.Thanks again Miss Lydia..... I closed her off from the nesting box and after a few attempts to figure out what was going on she seems fine with it and has resumed her life again. Can I look forward to her starting to give me eggs again anytime soon do you suppose?
