Hello and welcome to BYC! :frow Glad you joined.
A pre-fab??!! Oh boy. Is there any way you can convert part of a shed into your coop or build a pallet coop instead? Those little pre-fabs never have enough run space, are terrible to work with and cheaply made. It won't last long. And they never hold the number of chickens they claim to.

I don’t have a shed to convert and I’ll be building a chicken tractor to have them in during the day. A friend of mine used the same coop and has had a good experience with it. If it doesn’t work out I’ll build another but I think it should be ok for 3 chickens.

The run is only 21 sq ft and should be a MINIMUM of 30 sq feet for three birds. More is MUCH better. You it's too small to put anything in it to counteract boredom.
Are you planning on building on to the run to increase their space? If the door to the additional space was predator proof, if you beef up the latches on the existing structure, if you put some type of weather proof coating on the wood and if you install a predator apron around the current run and new run, you could make it work for a few years.
