~You Lost Me on that one}}}}
Sorry, pictures would be better, huh??
I am using a 45 gal tupperware.
When chicks hit between two-three weeks, I'll "add on" a playroom for my 10 chicks, which is a extra-large sized, fully enclosed dog crate, so they'll have the original tupperware bin opening onto what I called the "playroom". Kind of like this, but with the tupperware 45 gal on the end, not the cabinet:
At six weeks or thereabouts, I'll set up the dog crate inside my laying hens' large enclosed run:
and add to it a doggie play pen, which is 4ft high and has eight metal panels which create a space of about 25 ft squared. Similar to this link, but with 8 smaller panels that you can configure according you your needs!

Add roosts, tack on a "roof" of plastic green fencing, and voila! Chick apartment and playground!
Hope that was a better explanation. I used the terms, "efficiency", "one-bedroom", and the last would be a "town-house with playground?" just for fun.
