NY Coturnix

I have 6 BB and 8 heritage poults that I'd like to get out of my back room into a grow out pen. They're currently 3 weeks. I just finished their 8 x 20 hoop coop enclose. I would like to build a grow out box and put it in the hoop coop to get them out of my back room(wife getting on me). Weathers calling for near 80"s over the next week to 10 days in the north east. The coop is cattle panel wrapped in 1/2 inch hardware cloth with one one covered with tarp to keep the rain out. I've skirted the wire so I'm confident on it being safe and I'm going to run a couple heat lamps. Here's the question. I have them in 2 50 gal Rubbermaid tubs. I have a half a sheet of plywood that I was going to use as the bottom of my box and a couple used full sheets that I was going to make the walls from. Does a 4 foot square with 2 foot high walls sound big enough for 14 poults. I'm thinking I'll have them in it for probably another month to 6 week and its way bigger than what I have them in? I cold go bigger if this is too small and with the price of plywood right now I don't want to waste it.
