Quail Dust Bath

[isegal]

I have 5, 4-week-old button quail. I'm working on building them a ginormous outdoor coop to put them in at around 6 weeks old. I heard they need dust baths. How can I make one of these, and what should I use for it? All I currently have is wood shavings, which is the floor of their current indoor house. Would this work for the sand bath in their new home?
Unrelated, they keep flying and hitting their heads, hard, on the top of the container, even though it's nearly two feet tall.

Yes, sand bath is the same as dust bath. Any pan like container will work. I wouldn't put a dust bath in their pen, until you move them outside!
Where are you located, because button quail cannot take temperatures below 40°F for very long.
Either, have them in a 1'ft. high enclosure or one that's at least 5'ft high, to keep them from hitting their heads.
