Previous broody hen won't lay

[Cabin Run Farm]

Hey guys, my hen went broody. I did all the things to get her out of it. She's acting normal again, but hasn't laid any eggs since before she went broody. Is she egg bound? No idea what's going on. First time chicken momma....

It's quite common for them to take a couple weeks to start laying again after being broody. No worries!

Ok, thank you. My last chicken that went broody, bounced back in a few days....

They're all different. Mine have always taken a week or two to start laying again.

Some do go back to laying straight away, other can take weeks or months depending on time if year or molt. Also depends on age of hen - my broody pullets often go back to lay the next day after broody jail.
