Same nest laying?

Will hens lay eggs in the same nest?

Usually. Sometimes a hen will lay in a completely random place.

Ok thanks how many boxes do you think i need for 10 or so hens

My ten hens use 3 boxes, five use one, four use the other, only one uses the third, think they only used the third because the other two were occupied! Pretty sure rule of thumb is one box per four birds.
