I origionally thought I was going to get some OE Bantams.Made a coup up and made nest boxes of 9x9x9 for their small size.Now the guy I was getting eggs from has sold his flock.I'm now thinking of Buff Brahma bantams,Cochin bantams,or Wyandotte bantams.Should I modify to 11x11x11 or will the 9's work?

The smaller birds will use the 9x9 but they will also use a 12x12. A larger box is easy enough to add a divider if wanted to try a smaller box. If it was me, and had the room... I would not modify your existing boxes but add some 12x12's as a choice for the birds. Not only that but youwill have boxes for larger birds if you add.
