Where do female turkeys build their nests when they are about to lay eggs?

Female turkeys, or hens, typically build their nests on the ground in secluded areas to provide protection for their eggs. They often choose locations like dense brush, tall grass, or under low-hanging branches, which help conceal the nest from predators. The nest is usually a simple depression lined with leaves, grass, and feathers to cushion the eggs. Hens may travel several hundred yards from their roosting sites to find the ideal nesting spot.
