I'm new to keeping hens but life is easier if you can access the nest boxes from outside.  I have 2 next boxes for 4 hens, but I think you can have more hens on 2 boxes.

Mine is on the outside.... easier to collect the eggs and doesnt take away any of the space inside the coop.... also hens cant perch on top of it and poo on the eggs!!!! :D
I love Pekins, Polands and Seramas :) and eggs!!!
