One thing i find funny about chickens is you can have 1 box per hen, and theyll still line up to use the same one. No joke, i got 12 boxes, and 24 hens. They use 3 of them. Ive seen them gather around a singular one waiting for the hen in there to finish

I know. I’m totally new to this. “So Wait, 4 to 5 boxes per chicken. Man, how many eggs can one chicken actually lay??!?!!? Wait maybe she said forty five.”
