You're right, not the best choice.
Like most prefab coops, it is overkill on nest boxes and under kill on space and ventilation.
The few chickens it could hold would only need one nest box.
You are much better off building one. Prefab coops are way overpriced. I don't think I've seen one designed by anyone that knows anything about chickens.

I just looked at it on their site. They only give the external dimensions so I deducted for the thickness of the walls and it ends up being 15 sq. ft. and they claim it will hold 15 chickens. :lau

It would be tight for 4 LF.

It would make a great quarantine coop for sick, injured, new chickens or broody hens.
