My neighbor had two ducks, a tiny rooster, and a game hen. Well the rooster was attacked and was killed. Just a couple days before this happening, the hen started laying on an egg. The egg turned out to be a dud, so we had to force her off the egg. Just four days ago one of her ducks was eaten by a bob cat, so she asked if I wanted her duck and hen. Ever since then the hen has not layed any eggs. Does anyone know what might be going on? I already have chickens, so I'm not new to that. But a young hen not laying, that's new to me.
 
So it's going to take sometime for her to lay again. Any guess as to how long? I know she is pretty happy here. The enclosure she is in now is much bigger than what she did have.
Thank guys for your help!
 
How long? Who know with certainty. It could be soon it could take a month. With coming off brood and the move, when she settles in and is comfortable she'll lay.
