Kat, my calls don't seem to like to use ramps all that much... Can you find a tractor that has housing at one end on the ground instead of thwh whole upstairs? That is, no upstairs section...

Good point, Linda. Those little fat bodies do seem to want to toddle off to one side or the other and on a ramp that steep, that could mean an injury.

Something more like this.

But I'll keep looking for something suitable for little bitty call ducks with attached run like a tractor.

I have one of these, all in white, no wheel or handle, in which I penned the 4 call ducklings during their segregation/integration period. Dunno If it would be a problem for you, but the lids are on the top of each section half (doh! Lids=top) but that means no little door to let them waddle out into the yard From the penned half, on their own. You have to lift them out.

It's a real good infirmary set up; I have a chicken in it now for that reason.

But the four of them were quite comfy in it full time for 2 weeks. If they're only in it at night time, that would work - except for the getting them in or out of it.
