As being broody is a hormonal change, it may be several weeks before the hens are ready to lay again.  Unfortunately there isn't anything yu can do to speed it up.

Hens normally start laying again between 6 and 8 weks after hatching chicks.  If they haven't been broody for 3 weeks, then you can expect them to start laying before thes, but it usualy takes at least a month, in my experience.
