Hi, Welcome to our feathered family.. You sound like you have some beautiful birds there.. Sorry can't help with the questions you are asking but I am sure someone else can help you out!!!

One thing I can help you out with is if she was a hand raised baby herself.. she could be a awful parent.. Most new parents can be awful too but she was handraised soo she has no instincts she would've learnt when she was a baby of her parents.. But if the dad was parent raised he should know what to do!

Hi and welcome Noelle.
Wow, 3 foot long nestbox. That sure is a looooooong one!
Mine are generally no bigger than 2ft deep and aprox 30 x 30 cm.
I am not sure when your breeding season is over there, so can't help too much on that one.
The male will generally do his love dance of heart shaped wings to woo her and he will feed her. The hen will also begin to spend a bit of time in the nest box getting it just right to start her family.
