how many roos/nest boxs

[Teresaann24]

how many roosters should I keep with 5 hens? Also too how many hens how many roosters should I have?

Also how many nests boxs should I have for 5 hens or more?

One rooster for 12 hens and I'd say 1-2 nest boxes for every 6 hens... although you'll find that they all prefer the same box.
