Hen stopped being broody - how long before she lays again?

[V2vee]

My hen was broody for about 10 days and came out of her box about 4 days ago and she has not laid any eggs yet. Any idea when she should start laying again? Thanks!

There is no fixed time. It depends on the hen. Some will start laying a few days after the broodiness switches off; others may take a couple of weeks or more.

2-3 weeks is pretty typical but it can run longer.

Thanks both!
