No they are indoors. I've built a 10 x 5 run inside and turned it into a vermicompost substrate. Helps keep the smell down and there is no mess. So far so good. They were moved to that pen a few weeks ago. I gave the substrate a good six weeks for the worms to get established then moved them over. They are much happier there! I don't have a good predator proof option outside and honestly I don't like our winters so I'm happier to go hang out with them in the basement and take all our compost and paper waste down and bury it for the worms. The quail make it a challenge for me to get everything buried because they are right on top of my spade helping me dig up a hole...

 No snow to deal with down there
