How about you build a parch, sort of like a tree house. Build it not very high off the ground with a flat bottom and some rails on the sides so if they want they could sit on the rails too. Don't put a roof over. Make a ramp that goes up to the platform. My hens are able to free range and the table I use to train my chickens on for fairs, I put a grape post leading up to it and they walk up and down the poll all day. That and they like to sit on the benches by our fire pit, so maybe you could buy a cheep bench they could sit and jump around on.

I have an outdoor pen and place roosts at various heights in it. I placed a large stump on its side for them to perch on.They play king of the mountain on it..
Throw alfalfa hay in there for them to dig and fluff around in. I give them pumpkins split in half and bird seed for treats. As well as apples and any leftover bread.
