How many nesting boxes?

[doubledfarms]

I am trying to get my coop together and I am wondering how many nesting boxes I need. I have 6 baby chicks and I am assuming they are all females. I got 3 red pullets and 3 plymouth rock for Tractor Supply and they said they should be female. So assuming all 6 are female do I need 6 nesting boxes or will multiple chickens use the same nesting box? Thanks in advance!

Two nest boxes is really all you need.
If you have the space, just build four.
They will all probably want to use the same nest box anyway.
I put eggs in all the nest boxes to discourage them from fighting over the same box.
Congratulations on your new babies!
