Also where should I put the nest because I tried to put it in the corner where she laid the egg but it didn't fit. I honestly don't know how she fit back there either cause she's a big chicken and the corners not.

Washington state I'm not sure because I built my coop and just made the nest boxes to connect to the side of it.... They are lower than the roosts and give privacy.
