Within about a month. Weather will be a factor and so will location. Higher altitudes have an effect.

It depends on the length of time the young hatch-lings remain with her.The more time she spends tending to and raising them the longer it will take before she returns to laying.If you pull the young away from her after a month it will still take 1 to 2 weeks before she begins laying.If you remove the young as soon as they hatch it can still take 1 month before she begins laying.A lost clutch(no eggs hatching)Will spur her to lay more eggs much faster then actually having young hatch out.The reason being is a broody hen wants to hatch eggs where as a hen that completed a hatch doesn't want to return to the nest nearly as quickly.The energy lose she acquired during the incubation period is one factor which takes her time to recover from.While tending a brood her hormones prevent her from egg production.So there are many variables which you have to consider in discerning when she may go back to laying.There is no set amount of days.

Some birds Double Clutch, if you pull the babies too early a hen may lay again in the next few weeks.
