Hello!
We are new to the world of raising chicks, and I am not sure if we have too many chicks in one container. We have 17, approximately 3-4 week old,chicks in a 50 gallon tote. I have read the ratio of space should be 50/50, and I feel like we meet that but I still feel they are getting crowded the bigger they get. It is still too cold here in Northern RI too be them outside. But, here are some shots of their space. Let me know what you think!

If there are too many in one area can we separate them into two containers then put them all back together outside in a few weeks? Or are we better off finding one, bigger container?
