Portable cage/carrier for chicks?

[ChickChickChickChick]

I am looking for a decent portable cage/carrier with enough space for up to four chicks and one 10"x10" heating plate. The eggs have just survived the end of Week 2; hatch day is expected to be August 17. I plan to bring the chicks to work for the first 6 weeks. Any recommendations, concerns?

A large plastic dog crate will work for a couple of weeks, but by three weeks they will need more room...a sq ft per chick ,so an extra large crate for the next couple of weeks
Not sure what to do about the smell and dust though ...hope you don't work in an office

I am thinking that a portable plastic dog kennel carrier would be an easy solution. Just make sure you buy one big enough to house them on week 6 when they need more room.

Oops, hatch day is expected to be August 23, not August 17.

I do work in an office. Maybe the smell and dust will convince my boss to let me work from home?

I found an old transparent tote to use for the first couple of weeks. I may end up building something from plexiglass. Are dimensions 2ft x 2ft x 2ft sufficient for four chicks?
