Grow out pen for 40

Ideas/pictures for a grow out pen for 40 chicks?

I have a 16x20' cattle shed that I converted into a grow out for meat chickens. It has a partial concrete floor that is 6' wide and 20' long that is walled off for a "closet". That leaves the grow out side is 16'x14'. That leaves plenty of room for 40 chickens. I have 17 chicks in there right now (6 that are two months old, and 11 that are one month old). I will add a 16x40 temporary fenced run when they are a bit older.

Converted 12x24 home made greenhouse built from inexpensive electrical conduit. Faults: was a greenhouse so wasn't built in the shade, in extreme heat mechanical ventilation required. Our layer house is same design but covered in tin sheeting. Looks like an army barracks.

Just for a few weeks until they get used to each other and I can put them in the coop with our bigger girls. I was going to put the grow out coop in the same run as the main coop like a see don’t touch type of thing

Are they day olds or...??

Right now they’re almost three weeks old. I’ll probably put them out there in maybe two weeks
