My turkey hen won't stop setting!! It has been 3 months now.

She'll lay on top of the chickens to make them move and give up eggs. I've tried locking her out of the laying area, then she paces back and forth and she whimpers. I've put her in a crate overnight. Nothing. I put ice in a zip bag and put it under her. She kicked it out!! She won't eat. And now she has what looks like swollen glads but I think it's air. I'm getting worried! Any suggestions?

Pen her away from the nest for at least a week. Expect pacing. Unfortunately she will go broody again. Turkeys are worse than chickens in that department.

A week huh? Well I've tried everything else, so I'll try it. Thanks. I swear, she acts depress. She's a very spoiled pet.
