You'd be pushing it for space in that coop.....what other space do they have, like a run?

 

[ericmcginn5]

no my run is 8 feet long and four feet wide with two nesting boxes off the ground and a 8 foot rosting bar but the run is off the ground and the chickens our let out every day after 2 they dont live in the coop

Are your run and coop the same thing? usually the coop is the "house" and the run is the "yard". If that's all the space you have total, that's going to be too many birds, even if you partially free range. I'd limit it to 4 hens, myself.
