when will she lay again?

[buffy the chick layer]

So my hen went broody...we bought some eggs for her to hatch but she came off them with about 3/4 days to go through the night as when I checked the eggs they were cold. ...put them in the inci in the hope they would still hatch but wasnt hopeful and out of 9 eggs 7 hatched....1 died in egg as when setting them in inci I cracked one ...the other 7 was just an egg. We couldnt believe the success of it....anyway the chicks are 13 days old now and my hen has still not layed is that normal or should we be doing something else to help her?

That's normal and she should start laying within the next 1-2 weeks. You can increase her protein intake to make her lay quicker.
