nesting material

My coop floor and run is entirely sand, I also have sand in the nesting boxes. I tryed to put pine shavings in it but they just pulled it all out and made a mess so now I only have sand. Will this be an issue? Its not like they can make a cozy "nest" out of the sand. Will they still lay in there you think? Do I need to put up with them pulling out all the pine everyday?

They are all almost 20 weeks old and I am waiting patiently for my first egg!
 
we have heard that chickens cant regulate the temperature of the eggs as well with shavings. our chicks wont use them for laying.
