A 4x6 coop can't house 12 standard sized birds, unless you overcrowd them. Six is the comfortable number for a coop that size, to give each bird 4 square feet of space.

The rule of thumb is 2 square feet per chicken when the coop is only used for sleeping. This coop is designed to be inside a predator-proof enclosed run where the hens spend their days.
