If you get 2 eggs per every 3 hens per day (about) that works out to 8 eggs if i have 12 hens. i read that i need 1 laying box per every 4 hens, so for 12 hens that would only be 3 laying boxes. i don't understand how the 8 eggs are going to get laid in the only 3 laying boxes. should i just put in 8 boxes? what's up with that recommendation if the math doesn't make sense??
