Can someone please help me???

I'd suggest getting some fertile eggs locally. Not more than 12 if she can cover that many and candle them after a week to see how she is doing.
I had eggs and they didn’t hatch so I got chicks and she didn’t accept them. I don’t have room for more than that so I can’t get eggs unfortunately :(
 
She’s absolutely broody…. She was broody last year from April to august and I couldn’t break her no matter what.

She steals the eggs. She sits on them. Doesn’t leave the nest more than once a day. Takes one giant, dog sized poop the one time she gets up. Flattens out. Missing her breast feathers. “Growls” when other chickens go near her. She is quite broody
Well she certainly sounds broody! Have you put her in a dog cage set up off the floor on bricks under each corner, the floor tray removed with no bedding inside, just food and water?

I’m going to try this today! I’m so bummed she didn’t take the chicks. I was going to try one last time but I’m too scared she’ll kill all of them

It has worked for me every time. The idea is cool air circulates under their belly cooling her off rather than letting her snuggle in nice warm bedding. Broody hens body temperatures are high from the hormones. If you can lower her temperature her hormones will stop pushing her to try to hatch eggs. I call my dog cage “The Broody Breaker”.😂
Leave her ther at least 3 days. Wash rinse repeat if she needs it. 😉
