How Long 'Till Eggs?

[chick chicks]

How long does it take until hens will start laying again after being broody and hatching chicks? I have week old chicks with my hen right now so how long will it take? I'd like to have eggs again

( we only have 4 hens and 3 went broody over the same batch )

My hens start weaning their chicks from them at different times depending on the weather. If it's cold out, they keep them until they're fully feathered, about 6 weeks. If it's hot out, like now, the chicks start weaning themselves around 4 weeks, while they still have downy heads. Once you see your mama hen sleeping on the perch instead of with her chicks, you'll start to see eggs soon after.
