When is my hen likely to start laying again?

[BackyardinWales]

My broody hen has just been taken off her eggs (she didn't thank me) and it turns out they were none of them fertile. Since her sister isn't laying because she molting, will my hen start laying or is she likely to start molting now as they are 14 months old.

Broodies typically molt after sitting, plus you're coming into shorter daylight hours so good chance that she's done for the year.

Agreed most likely molt and stop for the year

Thank you. My sister won't appreciate the drop in production (she's the main one eating the eggs) but that's life!
