You could build a small tractor for them out of crates and hardware cloth....ours love being on the ground and it's not that hard to move them. We did a small tractor and we use it for everything. We used it for quail at one point but built another pen for them cause we had a broody hen we had to isolate. Here's a pic

We used crates but all you would have to do is make a rectangle frame and cover it with hardware cloth and cover a small portion for them to have some shelter from the weather and voila! They really seem to like being on the ground but they poo quite a bit so you'll need to move it every couple of days. Just make sure they have plenty of sunlight.

Ditto. :hide And no husband to consult can actually be dangerous for me. I'm already overworked. :th
