Coop Space for Future Additions

[LaceyJune]

Hello!!

I currently have a flock of 4 hens, a Lavender Orpington, Black Australorp, Blue bantam Cochin and a Silver Laced Sebright. With my existing flock, I was curious to know how many additions I would be able to have comfortablely in the next year or two from now. Since I had started this flock late last summer. The measurements of my hen house is 4ft 5in wide by 5ft 8in in length, following the run measurements being 7ft wide and 17ft long. Any advice or suggestions are much appreciated, and pls let me know if images would be helpful as well of my setup.

Photos of the setup and your general location and climate would be helpful.

My general location is Northern CA, and our climate is generally in the mid 50's. Pictures of my setup with also be uploaded below.

Very nice coop! I'd say 6 comfortably and maybe 8 max.

Thank you!!
And, would you say a full cochin would be comfortable in my coop? I was looking into the breed, and they just seem like gentle giants.

The coop looks fine for a large breed, but you may need bigger nest boxes. A large breed rooster might be too large for the pop door and feeder.

Ok, will definitely think over those changes for a bigger breed. Thank you!
