Nesting box location for broody hen and eggs

[UrbanChickFarm]

Ok so my eggs arrive In about 5 days for my broody Silkie. This is my coop. You can see my nesting boxes are raised I want to say about 10 inches from the ground.
Is this safe for the chicks or should I try and move her to the floor and make a nesting box down there? Any idea for a quick DIY nesting box I can make for the coop floor?
Im also worried she’ll hate her new location because she’s loves her nesting box right now.
Any advice?

Tried moving her at night before I put the eggs under her, she was not having it. She got mad and went up to the roost. I put her back in her nesting box and she’s been there ever since with the eggs. She’s been doing great. I think I’ll rig something up before the chicks hatch so they don’t fall and try and move her once they hatch.
