So I'm moving and no longer have a limit on how many hens I can have so I'm getting 4 more in about 2 weeks. I have 3 now. So with having 7 hens I will have a very large portion of my yard fenced in for them with their big coop inside to keep the dogs and neighborhood cats away. Anyway I currently only have 2 nesting boxes (they are not laying yet) would adding 2 more nesting boxes be enough or do I need more? I have room in their coop to add 2 and possibly a third that I could still reach from the egg hatch I made. 4 nesting boxes enough for 7 hens? It's possible I'll only get 3 (if one that I want isn't available) thanks for the advice! Yall are awesome and always help me so much!
