6... You will need to take into account the space required for nest boxes, feed containers... etc. If you are going to be free ranging all the time, have good climates, then you could feasibly do more than that. BUT, I wouldn't, just in case there are those days that they can not be let out of the coop.

At the very least, wipe the poop off your feet before getting in the car.

You need to consider the smaller space, so while you could a couple more in the run, they would really be too many when they go in to sleep at night.
