How long before a broody hen given fertilized eggs lay again?

[hc2schickaroo]

I have 2 ladies that started to get broody and I gave them fertilized eggs to hatch. The hatched chicks are now a little over a month old now. How long before my hens will start laying again?
Thanks for sharing!

Once the mamas stop tending the chicks, they will soon go back to laying.
Might be another week or so, might be another month or so.

Great avatar!

THank you. So, it can be weeks for months depending on the individual hen?
