You would probably be better off getting a second hand shed and converting it.
Unfortunately there are no detailed measurements on the image of the coop but just sharing something I researched on a quiet day at work which may be of interest:
I picked what I believed was a well known manufacturer and did some calcs……..
Their 'Tavern’ is advertised as housing 3-5 chickens but if you go into the expanded details it mentions 4-6 large chickens.
Their 'Saloon' is advertised as housing 2-4 chickens.
So, for good measure, lets say the 'Saloon' houses 3 chickens and the 'Tavern' 4 chickens.
Using the measurements provided on site:
The 'Saloon' measures: 76″ long, 35″wide, 39″tall
The Tavern measures: 98″ long, 41″ wide, 61″tall
So, by that reckoning 1 large chicken only needs 22 inches long and 6 inches wide.
Their 'Ranch' is advertised as housing 10-15 chickens.
The ‘Ranch’ measures: 143” long, 68″ wide, 67″ tall.
That is pretty close to double the size of the Saloon which houses 2-4 chickens but the Ranch is advertised as housing 10-15 chickens?? I am not going to work out how many inches that gives each additional chicken on the Saloon v Ranch but suffice to say it ain't gunna be much.
Keeping it simple and focusing on the Ranch, lets be generous and for ease of math, say 10 chickens that means each chicken would have an area 14 inches long by 6.8 inches wide.
Note: the above is the coop + run + the nest boxes. Nest boxes should not really be included in the usable floor space and are technically 'dead' space.
