Yes. The hen leaves the nest to eat, drink and defecate. Usually no more than a few minutes each day.
The hen usually prefers to remain very close to the nest and therefore it is often a good idea to provide a food and water source nearby.

Should you remove cowbird egg from finch nest?
The Cowbird never has its own nest - it uses the finch nest as its host (read: parasite.) The Cowbird egg will hatch first & will push the other eggs or baby finches out of the nest. Other species of birds will get rid of the Cowbird eggs, but finches don't seem to. I always remove them when found.
