Our White Plymouth Rock (MarilHen Monroe) had a bout with sour crop over a week ago. We treated it and she recovered quickly and is almost entirely back to normal; however, in the ensuing days she has not laid a single egg. She's happy, eating, pooping, her crop is emptying and she's her energetic self but nothing. How long does it typically take for a "reset"?
 
Hard to know when she will resume laying.
You'll have to wait her out.

Crop issues are generally a symptom of something else going on. Some common underlying conditions that cause crop symptoms are reproductive disorders, worms, coccidiosis and infection.
I'd say 98% of all crop issues I've ever treated were directly related to reproductive problems. Hopefully this is not the case with your lady and she will come back into lay quickly.

What do you mean by reproductive issues? Does this mean they don't get better?
I know this an older thread I am going through this now and thought I could find some insight on it.

Sometimes they do recover for a period of time, depending on the underlying condition. A hen that has a reproductive disorder like Cancer, Salpingitis, EYP, etc. can rally, but ultimately they will decline again due to the condition.

Crop problems are usually a Symptom. Sometimes it may be worms that is causing the system to slow. Infection and reproductive disorders are also common causes of a crop problems. Inflammation in the body, swelling/bloat/fluid, organ dysfunction, etc. can cause the systems to slow and this shows up as a crop "problem".
