One Nest or Two?

[jaydweight]

So I need your suggestions...

Below you can see our doghouse coop I'm converting, but what I'm not real sure of is how many nesting boxes I should make. I've got four chicks total, (and don't plan on getting anymore). I was originally thinking about making two, but have heard different opinions. I've got room to install two of them on the left side panel of the coop.

What do you all think?

I'm new to chickesn myself, but from what I've read, you need one nesting box for every 3-4 hens. Hope this helps!

Yeah I think maybe I'll go with just one. I guess if I decide to put another in I could later.
