If the nests are already in the coop, then see what happens when you put them in there.So I’m planning on putting my chicks out in the coop/run in the next few weeks so I should NOT have the nesting boxes in the coop for now?
How high of a lip do you have in front of the nesting boxes? Think @aart told me to have the lip around 3" in height to help reduce the straw coming out of the nesting boxes.My hens are 19 weeks old. I opened my nesting boxes last night and now the straw is strewn all over the coop floor. How do I get them to leave it in the box? I will put golf balls in tomorrow.
4-6" ..... but bedding needs to stay a couple inches below top of front lip.Think @aart told me to have the lip around 3" in height to help reduce the straw coming out of the nesting boxes.

It is about three inches. It looked like they had had a party in there!
