The rule of thumb on BYC seems to be around 1 nesting box for every 3-4 hens, but they will still probably have favorite nesting boxes which a lot of hens will use, and others that none of them will, more nesting boxes than that is fine if you have the room and handy if you may be getting more hens later .............
