How many chickens can fit

[Gaming ducky]

I’m getting 4 or so new chickens and I need to know if 8 can sleep here. I free range them during the day but if they can come here and lay eggs and sleep at night time?

(PS just about to clean it out)

Need a better pic or some dimensions in feet. Rule of thumb is 4 square feet per bird in a coop. They have to have room to move their wings. I've looked at some of those prefabs, and the only way some of those could fit 8 chickens is if they were frozen, dressed to go in a stew pot and got stacked in there by hand.

The ones I have always love to squeeze together. I’m not sure why

Are they young and raised together?

They follow everyone that comes to the house around as if they are dogs

That explains it. If you add more they will not be part of the "club."

I realise that but they are very friendly for isa browns. They only get fiesty over food but if no food is involved they are even friendly to baby silkies
