Don't discount vertical space in your coop. I have an 8' x 10' coop for 35 birds. I have a 3 ft wide ladder roost and 3 other roosts that are each 6 - 8 ft long... While I didn't plan it this way, I've discovered that my chickens (especially the roosters) like to also use the rafters as roosts too. So the birds all have their own little groups that they snuggle with but there is LOTS of room when you look at the space vertically.
