How many chicks and how long are you keeping them in there? Even just a few chicks will outgrow that quickly.
Great info! Here is mine..
It looks big at the top, but those tubs narrow at the bottom. Chicks double in size each week and their space needs double, too.

If these are your first chicks, you have some surprises and learning coming soon. Same as the rest of us when we first started.
- a one week old chick can jump up a foot
- a two week old chick can jump up 2 feet
Even without full flight feathers, they are strong little buggers.
I trust you have their coop at least 90% built. Even though we joke that the proper order is to get the chicks then start on the coop because they won't need it for a few weeks, that rarely works out well.
OH! I just noticed you joined this month!!!!
Get out your measuring tape. Just about every single storage tote I have ever come across is smaller on the bottom than the top. That tote has barely enough room for the food, water, and heating pad. There is no space for chicks to run around and just be chicks. It's too small. Not trying to be mean, just pointing out the obvious.
