Default Do nesting hens roost at night?

I' m showing my ignorance once again. [] About this time every year I wonder the same thing. After the hens have been bred and are nesting/laying eggs, do they continue to fly up into trees to roost at night, or do they remain on the ground on their nests all night long? (The reason I wonder about this at this time every year is when I see/hear birds fly up at roost time I wonder if they are all toms, or if they include either " unbred" hens, or if all turkeys, including nesting hens fly up to roost every night.) I suppose I could research the question and not publicize my ignorance, but we had so much fun with the turkey penis thing that I thought maybe we could do the same on this one. Your brilliant wisdom is solicited.
