How to break an extreme broody

[southernflock14]

I have a hen that has been setting for going on 2 months. I have tried letting her out set herself and I have tried moving her. None of it is working. I am afraid she will finally die if I do not break her

Try locking her up some where that she can not get to her nest site. Many use a suspended wire cage on chicken hens - perhaps it would work for a turkey hen.

I shut her up in her pen ( she was free ranging ) but she just sits on the ground with no nest. She has been doing that for at least a week.

Put her in a cage with a wire bottom. This has worked well for me.
