Ideas on where to add nest boxes

I'm working on a portable nest box....the nests are inside a large tote, on a platform with casters that will roll where I need it. I have a slot cut in the back, so it is usually parked next to a small door that I can get to, to harvest the eggs without going inside the coop.
 
Here's a mock-up of my rolling nest box

I’ve got a similar set up but I added the boxes under the roosts/poop boards. Looks like it might be to late for that option in your coop.

Hard to tell but you might have enough room to divide the current nest boxes from 3 to 6. Just add a board in the middle. Not sure of the room though but it might work.

New nest box is finally in. It is one big nest box since right now my teens have no issues climbing in the same box and laying. If it becomes an issue we will add a divider.
