My hen (turken) is broody..has been for about a month now..she changes
nest boxes multiple times a day...

doesnt lay or I havent seen her lay...
but she is NOT coming out to go bathroom OR drink/eat...
but I know its normal...to not do that.....

but anything to help her not be broody ALL the time??

and how long is it normal for a hen to be broody????
 
Maybe it's time to isolate her in a broody pen with no nest box. It can't be good for her to be broody for that long, especially with no eggs.

Should I put an egg under her?? can I just assume its fertilized??
