Another advantage of putting fake eggs in the nest is that it discourages egg eating, as an egg eater will try to peck the fake egg and be unable to break it, dissuading the behaviour. I like stone eggs for their weight, the plastic ones usually get kicked out.

one per 3-5 hens is a good guide. mine just all pile in the same nesting box regardless of how many there are, though.
