Covered Litter boxes for Nesting boxes?

[kickinchicken]

I searched the archives for nesting boxes and noticed that someone mentioned that people sometimes use covered litter boxes for nesting boxes. This is so ingenious! Easy to clean, I can add more if needed, I can take them completely out of the coop to super-clean everything! Is this too good to be true? My chicks are 5 weeks old and I have 2 bantam cochins, 2 sultans and 2 wyandottes....the litter boxes should be big enough, right? I was thinking of getting 3 boxes

Standard size litter boxes are plenty big for any chicken to lay in.
