Fairly new to Chickens

It said 15, and I only had 7, so I thought it would be sufficient. They roost on the top of it, and a 10 foot long bench/board we have inside the run.
I'm sure it did say it was rated for 15 birds. It's plain and simply false advertising. Every one of the pre-fab coops that can be purchased from TSC or that are manufactured from 2x2 stock in China are like that. It isn't going to fit the number of birds that you have.
It won't matter if you put lights in it, more ventilation or anything else. It's just too small and the birds need some personal space.
You have a great run there. I would look to modifying the coop you have so that the birds have 3-4 sq feet per bird or just start from scratch and build something new. Or you can look to reduce your flock size to no more than 5 LF chickens or equivalent.
Good luck.
