Hello, Benji, and welcome to BYC. Do you have chickens or are you contemplating starting a flock?

Just got a coupe and now exploring which ones to get!

Do you have pics?

Nice! Do you know what breeds you’re getting, or breeds you’re interested in?

Ahh. Maybe try welsummers? They lay dark brown.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
That coop isn't very big and the run in very small. I highly recommend you enlarge the run to something about 4-5x the size and then you could house about 4 hens.
I would also install a predator apron around the entire setup to prevent digging predators gaining access.

Welcome to BYC, Benji! @DobieLover has it right, it's best for chickens to have 3-4 sq. ft. per chicken in the coop and at least 10 sq. ft per chicken in the run. Prefab coops often advertise capacities greater than they should. Best of luck with your first flock!
