How much space do 10 chicks need with each passing week?

Hi! I have heard chicks grow quickly and I'm trying to organize the size brooders I will need as they grow. I will have about 10. I know they can initially be in a large plastic tote type container, but does anyone have any recommendations on the various sizes I will need as they grow so I can be prepared?

I need to know too, but I heard they eventually need 2.5 sqft per bird.
So that means 25 sqft is required for your case.

Is that full grown or until they can move out to the coop? I figure I'll have to keep them in a bit longer because of the weather, maybe until they are 6-8 weeks old, but have no idea how big they will be by that point!
