Will 25 standard day old chicks fit under one Mama heating pad cave using the 12 x 24 sunbeam heating pad?

Mine is the same size and I have 10 chicks that are 4 weeks old and it is pretty tight under there now. not sure how long 25 would fit or if they would at all. Hope someone else answers that has had that many chicks. I think I have read some say to use 2 MHP with that many but not 100% sure.

Probably too tight and more importantly, there's also the risk of chicks being trampled or crushed if they're all trying to stuff themselves underneath that space.
