Silkie nestbox? Where?

[AlienChick]

I have two Silkies that should start laying any month now (been waiting a LOOONG time).

I currently have buint-in nestboxes in my coop about 18 inches off the ground.
I also have cat litter nestboxes set up on the floor around the corners of the coop (some are stacked 2-stories).

Where do y'all have your nestboxes for the Silkies??

Mine like the highest nestboxes, since they are a tighter space. Those are at eye level.

Eye level for a short girl. I am a tall girl, so it is about sternum height.

I have tried MANY diff types. All of my silkies and showgirls lay and brood wherever they want (never in a box). I finally stopped trying to get them to lay in one and took them out. They usually lay in the corners but I find eggs everywhere! Good luck!
