You can actually tape up to 4 of the single boxes together. I wouldn't put more than 2 adult silkies in one box, but you could put all the 1-month-olds in one and the 2-month-olds in another. For safety reasons, I wouldn't put the little guys in with the adults.
The omni nest boxes do have 8 compartments but they are designed for pigeons and wouldn't be big enough for an adult bantam. Though if the birds are all going to the same place, you could use one of the swan nest boxes for all of them. They can be divided into 1, 2, 3, or 4 compartments. I haven't been able to find any place that sells just one of those though, except for http://poultry2.tripod.com/id3.html if they aren't sold out. But honestly, it's probably still cheaper on your buyer for you to use 3-4 of the singles taped together.
