Design depends on whether you just want a functioning nest box or a separate secureable box that can be used as a broody coop or quarantine/hospital accomodation .
I went for high ridged Alpine chalet style when i made mine ! :)
Hens are followers of fashion and will lay in the box the other ladies think is best !

just a box for the hens to lay, and easy for me to collect there lovely eggs :)
