How many chickens can fit in this setup?

We currently have 6 four week old red stars. We're finishing up the coop and run construction in the next 3 days. The coop is 7 x 3.5, with a peaked roof that stands at 6.5 feet high. The enclosed run will be a total of 110 square feet and 6.5 feet high. How many egg laying hens total could fit with this setup? I know the whole 4 square feet/10 square feet rule. Just wondering your opinions.

3-sq feet per bird is general rule. that's 18 sq feet for (6 birds). your coop is bout 21.. your good now.. you could add a few more if you wanted, run size is good to 10sq ft per bird... more room is better...

IMO the 4/10 rule is a bare minimum......
......especially if you live in a snowy climate and your run is not impervious to accumulating snow load.
