I dont think it's too large at all. And if you set the coop up on concrete blocks, they would also be able to utilize the space under the coop.

Maybe.I’m wondering if I could cut a hole and attached it to the outside of the run with the ladder going into the run.
Yeah, just put it inside the run.I’m not a diy person at all. Might get it custom made. This is the coop I have

So! I was measuring my garden, it’s an odd shape. I can only fit in a 6ft by 13ft run. Is this big enough for 4 bantams, 2 Sussex cross and one buff Orpington? If we find out any of the chicks are roosters then they will be gone.
I will be free ranging them everyday except when I go away and put enPugh entertainment for them inside. View attachment 2227777
I see okI looked at the link to the coop you have. That’s a rather small coop if I did the conversions correctly, floor space excluding nest boxes is 36 inches wide by 31-1/2 inches deep, and of course the manufacture says it’ll accommodate 8 large birds. This size is way overrated by the manufacturer as that comes to less than 1 sq/ft per bird.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but unless I did the conversion from CM to inches/feet incorrectly, you need a bigger coop as even though 4 of your 7 chicks are bantams, those 7 birds are gonna be crowded once they grow.
