How many chickens can I fit in this dicreption of a coop?

I couldn't see the pic but with dimensions I would say 12 max depending on breed

Yep depends on breed, silkies vs gamefowl(my birds) have very different space and roosting requirements. A well designed coop can be a badly designed one depending on the breed.

16 silkies to 5 maybe 6 games is my best guess without seeing the layout.

Conventional wisdom on this site uses 4 square feet inside the coop and 10 square feet outside run space as the minimum per bird. Some variation is possible depending on the size of the birds to be housed. The space described should easily hold 10-12.

Available space should include only "free" floor space not otherwise occupied by nest boxes, feeders, etc.

Your climate will also affect the numbers as chickens do not much like winter weather and tend to stay inside much of the time. This adds to flock pressures and can result in aggressive behaviors between flock members.

Environment, location information, forage vs pure feed would help us to help you better. Here are some limited reading materials.
