Laying after broody

[kowell275]

Haw long after a brook broody hen start laying again. My cuchin hasent been broody for over a week but still not laying.

If she is with chicks, usually about 6 weeks.

If broody, then stopped being broody and no chicks.....anything from a few days to about 4 weeks.

My last broody with chicks took 14 weeks before she began to lay again.

After mine finish rasing a brood of babies it is usually around a month before they begin laying again. You still have around 4-6 weeks to wait...

When I break my broody hens, it has been taking about 2 weeks before they begin laying again.

Depends on the hen. I've had them take 4 weeks after they wean the chicks before they return to laying. My last one started laying about 3 weeks after the hatch, even before she weaned the chicks. That one did wean her chicks within a few days of starting to lay again.
