Nest box for silkies?

@Hinotori what should I give my silkie hens for nest boxes? I have 2 silkie pullets and they will live with 2 unsexed seramas (hopefully a pair).

Many of my silkies just pick a corner in the shavings and defend it from all, even if they have a nest box. They sleep in dog houses or small coops, though.

I do have a small tote I cut a hole in the front of that they like. Left a lip a couple inches to keep the shavings in but it isn't too high for chicks if they fall out. I always put a ramp of shavings in the front for the first week.
