Me neither. I'm wondering if maybe the word tote is interchangeable for the metal troughs seen at the feed stores. Some of those are good sized.I haven't yet seen a tote large enough for 20 three week olds.

20 in a 55 gallon tote is probably only good for the first day or two.To answer everyone's question about space, I do start out with 20 in a 55-gallon tote, which in the weeks afterward dwindles down to about 5 chicks per tote as they move outside, are sold, and just get too crowded. I probably should have specified that in the beginning to avoid the criticism, but it didn't come to mind as important to the issue, but you all brought up perfectly valid points, so thank you.
