how long do you need leave her after chicks have flown the nest so to speak, before let her sit on more eggs?

cheers

Thing is, the chicks have either been taken away from her(as day olds) or (as with her first this year) killed by pup. But even so, my best up to now, was two broods off a banty in the summer, so im hoping this hen will sit it out and hatch these off for me, she can then rear the chicks in safety this time in an ark, so no doubt it will be her last go this year. They are Reeves pheasant eggs.
