nesting box for Jersey Giant

[Flipped]

I am designing my first coop and have a Jersey Giant chick coming soon. How large should a roost for her be and should I make all five fit that size or can I encourage just her to use that box? I also have 3 Plymouth Rocks and one Orpington coming. This is my first time with backyard chickens!

I'd have roosts of different sizes, I'm not sure they have a preference. As far as a nesting box, make one or two big enough for a JG to sit comfortably in, but from what I know there is no way to "train" hens to go in one particular box. Most of us are just happy they lay their eggs in a box.
