Space ? brooder/water tank ordered chicks.

[farrier!]

I am thrilled!!!! Finally ordered chicks.....so....

I was thinking that the spare 150 gallon water tank (rubbermaid black) might work well for a brooder but am not sure if it is the best size. It will fit into the house and I can make a cover for it that hinges and hang the heat lamp easily and adjust height.

I have a month to get ready in...

Will this work and is it big enough for 30+ chicks?

I'm pretty sure that's what they use for some of the chicks at my feed store, works great. What are the dimensions? I think it would work for 30 or so...
