I have a 7 mo old Silkie who started laying late in November, she was laying around 5 eggs a week up until January when she went broody (wouldn't leave the nest box, sat on anything remotely egg shaped) this broody spell lasted about a 2 weeks before she finally seems to have snapped out of it and has resumed her normal behavior, however it's been almost 2 weeks and she has not laid a single egg. Is this normal? Do hens usually take a break after a broody spell? do you think maybe she finally realized it's winter?

There are 4 other hens in the coop with her who are all still laying regularly despite the weather. These are my first chickens so I'm not sure if I should be concerned or not.
 
Nope she is fine it is completely normal...
