Opinions needed!

Hey everyone!

I have attached two pictures of my coop for my 3 new chicks. I'm basically hoping everyone can take a look at it and let me know if you think this will be enough room for my 3 girls. I've heard such varying numbers for how much space they actually need, so I'm hoping this will do the trick. The two inserts you see can slide out and be easily removed.

So, in other words, how many hens do you think this coop can handle?

2. You just don't have enough floor space for the hens to get around. They will be almost like the production layers in a cage. For me just not enough pen area. Also on the nest boxes, I would remove 2 and just have on for that few hens. Also I would put a barrier front and rear to hold in the nest material. You open the door and out it comes.
