How old are they?
Lovely girls. They look about the same age as my youngest Orps. Mine are 14 weeks, if I remember correctly.

That's a big jump from 6 to 26!

I actually don’t know how old they are. Thank you!

Yay! They are sooo cute! I just got 2 ( lol, not 22!) yesterday to add to my small hen family! I have been looking for 2 buffs and two leghorns. Mine are around six weeks old. Anyway, we tried the totes at first also with our first 6 chicks, worked for about a week. Not enough room. We built a larger brooder box for the garage from a picture i found on an article here. Look up brooder and coops. Good luck! You have a lot!

Not the best pictures, but, my older pullets and cockerels got cheese puffs as a treat today My Orpingtons seem to hold the spotlight of personality

The chicks are beginning to get the start of wing feathers... they are white though. Hopefully as they grow it’ll become buff.

Also to say I need to get out and clean my outside coops, is an understatement.

I've always been told 1/2 square foot of brooder per bird to hold them for 4-6 weeks. In your case, that's about 5'x2'. I used to use cardboard panels and tape them together, when I brooded inside. That way, you can expand it easily. I recently built a quarantine/brooder coop/run that's inside my big run. It works great for new chicks, broody hens hatching eggs, and a time out space for bad birds.
