It takes about 10 days after mating for the hen to begin laying. She will lay one egg every day or every other day until she has a clutch of 4-8 eggs. Monitor for lethargy, loss of appetite or straining but do not disturb her too much if she is in her nesting box. If you don't see an egg in a few days or if she becomes lethargic, then have her examined by your veterinarian or an experienced avian veterinarian.
