You have 32 square feet in your coop and a chicken is happy with about 4 square feet each, so we take 32 divided by 4 and we get 8. So your coop can house 8 hens comfortably. For every chicken you need 1 foot of roosting bar. If you have at least 8 foot of roosting space then you can add three more hens, if you also provide a run for them too.
