number, size and spaceing of nestbox's?

[substandardtim]

we have 7 buff orpingtons, how many nest boxs do we need, how big should they be and can they be stacked and if so how high?

1 box per 4 birds
12x12x14D
If you pitch the back, make it 18" high to give a good angle and prevent roosting.
Yes, they can be stacked, if you need to stack two that is.. No higher than the available roosting space.
