When do silkies go back to laying after brooding?

[MiMis_Place]

Does anyone know how long on average after a hen goes broody or sets and hatches her eggs before she goes back to laying?

I plan to take the babies away from them when the chicks are about two weeks old. So, how long before I can expect them to lay again?

Also if you keep taking the eggs away when they are wanting to set on them, will they keep laying?

Thanks,
Carla

I did not let my silkie continue being broody, the first time (I kept her away from the nest boxes for about a week). It took her 2 months to start laying again. She laid for 1 month and went broody again

So I am letting her be a mommy this time.

THat's a long time! Sure hope it doesn't take mine that long!

I got a silkie that had just been broody. She still hasn't started laying again. It's been about 1 month since I got her.
