Yup. You don't want food and water close, because you want her to get a little exercise while she's off. Broodiness is a bit hard on them, they lose some weight and muscles get a bit weak. Once in a while one won't get up at all, but almost always they do, generally once a day.
I used to have one that for some reason would choose my morning visit as her time to get off the nest, which is unusual, from what I read. I used to sit down and watch, She'd stay off maybe 20 minutes, dust bathe, preen, peck and scratch a little, and chow down and drink, and of course, do the smelly thing, fortunately usually outside. If weather was really cold she stayed off a shorter time. Broody poops are a lot less difficult to be around when outside!
