Please help my sanity. How much resting is normal for a broken broody bird?

[mintyivyy1]

Normal for her not to be laying after broodiness, as they generally don't resume for 2-3 weeks. Is she otherwise eating and drinking? Does she react to treats that she likes?

Yes, eating, drinking, loves treats, running around being the weirdo that she is...

Just really wanted to thank everyone for taking the time to respond. We go out of our way to give these chickens the best life possible and we've had so much happen over our first year that it's getting hard to judge emergencies/vet visits from normal behavior.

thank you, this is very helpful. she is doing all of those things, but I wonder if she's a bit confused.

She no doubt is confused. Her body was preparing to hatch chicks and you interrupted this cycle. So her body and mind are on different paths now. If you still work on keeping her out of the boxes, her hormones will eventually calm down and she will get back to her old self. But it will take time. Watch her to make she she stays healthy, she eats, drinks, gets outside and does chicken things.
