If I did the math right..You'd need at least 5 hens laying an egg a day.

You can expect to get an egg a day from a guinea hen who either has a nest or is ready to start one. (I've noticed that hens without nests don't tend to lay an egg everyday)

As for the space they'd need, well I'm not really into measurements, so I don't know. But I know someone else will help you out on this.

I have the first 3 dozen when you gonna come get them??

I have 10, 8 hens and usually get 6-7 a day if you hatch them now you will have plenty to get eggs from next year.
