Nesting boxes for Muscovy ducks?

[Riverside Barn]

I am new to owning ducks and was just wondering what would be the best type of nesting boxes for my Muscovies?

My Muscovies wont use a nesting box, they make their own nest in the corner of the duck house. I have nesting boxes attached but they use them to poop in which is great cos it keeps the rest of the house clean. I dont know if everyones Muscovies are the same but it works for me. My drake sleeps in a separate house and he poops where he sleeps but my girls dont seem to

Mine don't either, i do have a shelf in the main duck barn which they do "nest" underneath, they've actually raised a few babies under there too lol

My muscovies are free ranged but they make their own nest away from the house and away from where I would think to look and man are they protective of those eggs.

This is "Willemina's" nest First she started laying in a burrow of grass. We had to move the eggs into the duck house as we lock them up over night and I didn't want her kept from her eggs. We gave her an armful of hay and she did the rest herself!

This isn't a very good picture of it but I use cat crates minus the door for my muscovies.
I have a large coop that they stay in at night and I put these in the corners. They tend to like dark, small spaces. I put hay in them and the ducks do the rest!
But keep in mind that if you free range them, your hens are likely to make a nest and lay outside. I had one make a nest in the rocks that are around the base of the foundation of my house! She had 9 eggs before I finally found it (the nest was behind a piece of plywood that was leaning against the house). I took the eggs out and put down hay for her them put the eggs back. She ended up laying 3 more and I had 10 beautiful babies hatch 3 1/2 weeks ago

why does your drake sleep away?
