>  I was told a drone laying queen lays in drone cells only.  This makes no
sense to me.  

Nor me - simple observation says that it is not true.

>Is it a mistake to put a ripe queen cell into a new nuc stocked with a
frame that has lots of eggs and open brood

No - I have always put queens cells into mating nucs shortly after removing
the mated queen.  Never had a problem yet.

Best wishes
