I hear ya. I really did a number on myself when I decided not to put them in the shed. My set-up is pretty patched together right now -- @swampratt can vouch for me here! Lol -- but they have a roof, a windblock, and plenty of straw to huddle up in. I've gone out several times in the mornings and found all 5 of the quail inside those little hutches. I thought I'd left the pen door open the first time that happened. Haha!

My coop is 7 foot tall and has the white plastic corrugated panels for the roof.
It is blocked by my shed on the north side and thee is just enough open screened area for good ventilation and to allow the sun to come in.
My food does not get rained in.. coop is dry unless you get blowing wind rain.. but even that does not soak the area.
Wife and I got tired of bending over to get eggs or dealing with small coops.
This one has an old glass storm door for entry..and no bending over.
I just took this picture and it is dark out and no light on currently but hens are all up.
I've been subscribed for a while but just watched this one @swampratt I think you might enjoy this..
I'll be building his pvc chicken tractor in the near future..
