If you have a dollar store near you - their grass skirts work really, really well for making a nest box seem more private. Very easy to go through, but gives them that visual security. I put some up on a set of nest boxes a few years ago (first year I had pullet DCs), and they were broody within a week! (that hadn't been the attempt - it was more to give low girls on the pecking order a bit of peace when on the nest box - but then those nest boxes became permanently taken!)
