I am here all the time, I rarely see a broody turkey hen off of the nest but I do find their broody poops even when I don't know where the nest is. It is really to miss if they aren't off the nest for very long. The proof that they have been off of the nest is the fact that they are still alive. They can go days without food but they cannot go days without water.Thanks @R2elk , really useful! In regards of the camera - I have one, but I am rarely using it these days as when there is snow I work from home and the coop is under my window, so I do actually observe that particular flock almost 24*7 and I know she did not leave the nest. And when I say 'walk' of course I mean food and drink.. they are free ranged.
