Basically 8x8x8

Yuo have 6 too many birds in that space sorry but each should have 4 foot

8x8 = 64 sq ft.
64/4 = 16

She can fit 4 more birds and still have 4 sq ft / bird.

Umm, yeah...what are you basing your numbers on @penny1960 ? Like @Krugerrand said, I have extra room for my girls. And, they only lay and eat in their coop, they actually roost in a tree that’s within their run. The run is enclosed and predator proofed from top to bottom

 

[pennyJo1960]

Disagree but Bf did the math. Birds will peck at others usually more neck area or butt most what your showing on her is dried mud I think

If you do have a bug problem, I had no luck with DE. I bought a 50# bag. I had mites and lice and used DE and after a couple of weeks they were no better so then I started treating them and their coop with permethrin. Within a couple of weeks they did improve. I continued treatments for another 2 weeks and they really showed improvement. I also put poultry dust in their nest boxes. I know many people swear DE did the trick for them and maybe it did work for them but certainly didn't work for me. Good luck...
