nesting box question

I have 8 nesting boxes that are 12x12, for 24 hens. They're about 5 months old.

I've put straw in the boxes. When I check their boxes the straw is almost gone. Somehow they're throwing it out of the box and on the floor. They still lay in the boxes but I have found a couple eggs on the floor. Are my boxes to small?

I have a variety of hens. Barred plymouth rocks, Buff opringtons, delawares, arcannas and RR's.

Is this size okay?

Thanks everyone,

Diana
