Will Quail use a ramp?

They only use the ramp to go down. nobody is climbing it up. i'll have to experiment with making it easier for their feet i guess..
 
Imagine a wall, with a brick sized hole in it, about a foot from the ground. Now imagine a wee ramp, with horizontal ribs going across it. That is all I have on either side. I kept them in the brick shed for a week or so before letting them out, and when they were out, made sure that food and water was only kept in the shed (So they go back in).
I'll try to get a picture.
So they are trained to go back in and not leave?
 
They come and go as they please. The brick shed is dry, warm and has their food/water. The outside pen is open and for them to scratch and do their thing. They go in for safety.. if they get spooked they shoot in. If it rains, they go in (whilst fussing about it of course).
When the colder weather comes in, I put them in at night, and close the hole, so they are in. That said, they are hardy things, and handle a UK winter easily enough, but I prefer to put them in. Not always voluntarily, but they know the score :D
