I wouldn't put more than three standard size chickens in that coop. 5 bantams would be okay.

Hi and welcome!
You have come to the right place for answers to all your chicken questions.
Before getting your chickens post a picture of your coop inside and out, and let the experts take a look and give you recommendations on how many chickens should fit.
Good luck on your chicken journey!

The last thing I want is unhappy chickens... my kids treat them like pets. So now.... I have to figure out what to do. I’ll take any advice. I can build onto it, expand run immensely, scrap it and build something new all together.

The white ones are light brahmas. The black ones look like australorps. Both breeds get quite large. You will have to get a bigger coop if you want them to live comfortably, otherwise they will be very overcrowded.
