Is this coop to cramped?

When I first started thinking about chickens I just about bought this coop, but I thought It'd be too tiny for my four hens. Im glad I didnt, cause it would have been too small for the five I have now, LOL
It is a super cute coop though, wish they made it on a larger scale.
 
82 cm x 66 cm for the main coop area. = 32" x 25". That is just over 5 square feet of living space.
Putting more than 2 hens in there would be criminal.

Like putting 2 people in a hall closet and expecting them to live happy.
 
I need some help... I have 10 birds that HAVE GOT TO GO OUT!!! The coop we were making got crushed by a tree limb, thankfully before the birds went out, but now we only can make a 4.5x5 coop until we can get cash to get more wood... Will my birds be ok for about a week if they have a massive semi-free range open area to play in? I can not keep them in the spare room any longer... :he I'm going crazy with the smell, dust and kids trying to enter every time I'm not looking...
It is also on a 3.5' stand to give them outside access during bad weather... Advice please...

May need to start a new thread so more folks will see this. I personally think with outdoor space and since they are young it may be ok for a limited time.

I'm always amazed at these sort of things - for the $1000 spent on it, you can build a full sized shed.
 
1000$ dollars will get you a 20x20 fly pen an 8x8x8 high coop....and thats also with plenty of security measures to go with it...... and netting to go on top
