240 sq feet in the coop is the right size for up to 60 chickens. Just keep in mind that you'll also need a 600 sq foot run, or let them free range. From your post it's not clear if you have 240 sq feet INSIDE the coop, or if that's coop and run together. You need to figure them separately since you need 4 sq feet in the coop per chicken and 10 sq feet in the run.

And think of these as the minimums. If you are in the land of severe ice and snow...they spend days in the coop at a time, the 4 sq ft per bird is going to become small. jmho
