When are hens on/off the nest? When do they leave, and how long do they stay gone? Do they sit all night? Do they have a schedule they follow?

They lay 1 egg a day till they are through laying, 10 15 eggs, then will set full time for 28 days only walking away from the nest to poop and feed just a little. When you find a nesting hens poop it is huge. They dont set till all the eggs are laid so the poults will all hatch within a short period of time.
