I have 9 BO hens and i made 2 nest boxes that are 20 x 20. Are they too big or will they work fine? Just worried if i have a broody hen that she won't have enough privacy and the other birds will come in and bug her in the nest box

Thanks
 
Sounds big to me but I'm new to this. I made mine 14x16 and they are plenty big enough for my rir.
 
Seems like I read somewhere 1 nest box per 4/5 hens. Doesn't really matter because they find a favorite one and everyone wants to lay in it!! Doesn't matter if you have 50 boxes!
