So how big is THIS space, where they spend most of their time, when they are not in the 50x50' barn? This is what's most important, where they spend the majority of their time.

The barn itself is pretty big, they spend around 4 hours in the coup, 2-5 outside it in our upper level of the barn, which is pretty big

Can those bins on the floor be moved out to give them more floor space or boards across it they could stand on?

The bins are actually their nesting boxes, and we plan to add perches in aswell as I’m Planning to buy enrichment items and in the summer they will have a pretty large run to hang in my backyard, their first summer I didn’t let them out at all as they were still little

And that coop space is 15’x15’ correct?

Mine really like the Kalmbach Henhouse Reserve one. They have a few different flavors. Mine like the original so far. I tried the pumpkin and they didn't seem to care for it. I know they have a Winter Candy Apple that looks new. I haven't tried that one yet. I did try Purina block and absolutely no one liked. I ended up leaving it in the woods for any wild critters. It's eventually was eaten by something.

Okay thank you so much!

Could those nest boxes on the floor be mounted up a couple of feet to give them more floor space? Those are taking up a considerable amount of floor space. It may be 15x15' wall to wall, but it's not 15x15' floor space.

There is a black hen standing on what looks like nest boxes to me. I'd take out those ones on the floor and have them use those.

1.5 feet is enough for most chickens. Also bc you don’t want them to be higher than the roost.
+ You only need 4 nestboxes for 16 hens.
