How do you break her? When we get the others eggs, usually by early afternoon we lock the coop so she can’t get in.

Yes, locking her out of the coop can help although she may find another spot to be broody in. Some people will cage a broody for a few days, anything to interfere with her ability to sit somewhere.

Our black Australorp is 2 years old and has been brooding for approximately 2 months. The deal is she just sits in the box with no eggs under her. Do you think she has quit laying and is ready to join the noodles in a soup?

Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow

Our silkies sit on nothing when they're broody. I break them spring to fall though by putting them in a gravel-bottomed kennel or pet pen on the driveway. They get food/water, but no place to sit other than on gravel. That's not secure so at night I let them go back to the coop. If in the morning they're still in there, back to the pen they go. It usually takes 2-4 days.
