Things will work, until they don't. And what appears to be more than enough room when they are little, rapidly becomes not enough room when they are bigger.
Basically you can do it the hard way - build bigger ASAP. Or do it the easy way, reduce the flock. Wait to add more birds, till after you have a bigger set up.
A peaceful flock is a joy to be around, a squabbling, fighting flock, leads to injury, ugly behavior and most people can hardly stand to watch. Until they are fighting, just enjoy them, but once they start, you need to implement plan B - and it needs to be ready to go.
Point of Lay pullets should be easy to sell. If you start having problems immediately pull birds out, and sell them, before the habit become ingrained. It can be very difficult to stop the ugly behavior if you let it go on too long before you do something.
