How long after hatch do hens typically start laying again?

Will she not lay as long as chick follows her around? I know its a dumb question but I miss my banties eggs.

When I had banties, all the hens would lay in one box and all sit on that clutch, peeling off one at a time as the eggs hatched until they were all hatched. That was normally in the early summer/late spring. They didn't lay a lot in the heat of summer, and that may be the case here. If they did lay, they got broody again. And if I went in there to get the eggs, I was in for a fight.

My broodies just started laying again. It has been 6 weeks since their chicks hatched. Mine are banty RIRs.

Not sure if this is normal as this is my first time dealing with this.

I sure hope she starts laying soon. She lays better tasting eggs than my standards. She stays out of the neighbors yard unlike the standards so I freerange her 24-7.

They usually stop brooding chicks between 4 - 6 weeks. Then it can take her a month or so to start laying again.

Always takes mine 2 months to get back into the swing of laying....
