Hi All,

My Maran went broody, took about a week to break her out of the habit no big deal, but she has been back in the floack and socializing and acting perfectly normal but she hasnt started to lay again after her break!!

Pre Broody session she laid 6 out of 7,

Anyone any experience of how long she will be on strike for!
Cheers

I took a hen away from the chicks and put her in with the rest of the flock, she was laying 3 days later, and everyday since!

Shouldn't think it will be too long. Though keep an eye on her, she may decide to brood again.
