How Many Nesting Boxes Do I Need Per Chicken?
When planning your coop, it's important to know that you don’t need a nesting box for every chicken. Most hens won’t mind sharing, especially if the boxes are cozy and clean.
- - A good rule of thumb is one nesting box for every 4-5 hens.
- - For smaller flocks, having a few extra boxes helps prevent crowding and egg breakage.
- - Large flocks should consider tiered or roll away chicken nesting boxes to save space and keep eggs protected.
Whether you're buying for a backyard coop or a larger operation, we can help you choose the right number and type of chicken nesting boxes for your setup.

How Big Should A Chicken Nesting Box Be?
Size matters when it comes to comfort and egg safety. If the box is too small, hens may avoid using it. If it’s too big, multiple birds might try to pile in at once, increasing the chance of broken eggs.
- - A standard nesting box should measure about 12”x12”x12”.
- - Heavier or larger breeds may need slightly bigger boxes for comfort.
- - Wooden chicken nesting boxes offer flexible sizing and a classic look, while galvanized steel models are easy to clean and ultra-durable.
We offer a range of box sizes and designs from Filterhualv, GarveeLife, and ZeenArt to fit every breed and barn style.
Does Each Chicken Need a Nesting Box?
Not at all. Chickens are surprisingly cooperative when it comes to laying. In fact, they often take turns using the same box throughout the day. However, a shortage of boxes can lead to bad laying habits, like floor-laying or egg pecking.
- - Two tier chicken nesting boxes are a smart way to expand vertical space in smaller coops.
- - Roll away chicken nesting boxes keep eggs safe and out of reach after they’re laid.
If you're unsure what type of chicken nesting boxes are best for your hens, our team is here to guide you. We work with trusted names like ZenxyHoC and Brower to offer long-lasting solutions for your flock.
