I have a turkey hen who won't stop sitting on chicken eggs. She has laid before but only one or two eggs. But I can't get her to sit on her own eggs because she would rather steal chicken eggs and sit on them. Is there any way I can persuade her to lay her own? Like maybe a different nest area? I don't want to separate her from the chickens if I don't have to but I really want her to lay her own.

If she is Broody---she want lay. You need to break her broodiness then she should start back laying.
