How long does it take to start laying again?

I picked up a GLW last Monday that had been laying. I knew that she would probably stop for a while.

I'm just wondering how long that while might be?

I've seen people discuss this on here before and it seems to depend on the chicken and the level of stress the particular chicken thinks they experienced.

So if she's mellow, you may be eating eggs tomorrow, and if she's not, you may be waiting a few weeks.

P.S. How do you like your Welsummer? I have one W pullet and one roo in my group of chicks this year.

We gave some hens and a roo to friend last week and they never stopped laying. They were Dominiques.

Thanks! Our Wellie is about 4 weeks old. So far we like her a lot. Very sweet. Right now she is sort of ugly, but most are at this stage.

Still no eggs.

Maybe today will be the day! She has integrated with my flock wonderfully, she has found a favorite place to roost, seems to be eating and drinking. Just no eggs yet.

I've got my fingers crossed for soon!!

It could be a few days to a few weeks before she will start laying again.
