Okay, so I was looking for a coop online because I might get chickens and I found a coop that I liked that wasn't outrageously priced. It's 39"x 34.5"x 42.5". And, if I did the math correctly, it's about 140 sq ft. I only want 7 chickens, and most of them will be bantams. Is this coop too big? Oh, and here's a picture if that helps.
 
That coop is only 9.3 sq ft.
39 in = 3.25 ft
34.5 in = 2.875 ft
3.25 ft*2.875 ft = 9.34 sq ft
 
usually one chicken per every 2-4sq ft, with banties it can be 2 banties for every 2-4 sq ft but if the seem cramped you will have more problems with illness and fighting. you may want a bigger coop or less chickens
