RHODE ISLAND REDS- HOW MANY?

[RTRABBITRY]

I have a 10x10x4 dog lot that I want to put some Rhode Island Reds in just for laying. NO BREEDING... NO ROOSTER... I don't want anyone to go into specifics of measurements and shoulds and should nots, I just want plain simple answers. How many can I put in there together? I have the top covered so no predators can get in it. Thank you for your answers in advance

I have a 12x7x6 dog kennel for my 4 hens, one of which is a RIR, all similar body size. They seem pretty comfortable in there. So 5?

Is that a 10 by 10 coop or run?

Rule of thumb, 10 square feet of run per chicken, 4 square feet of coop per chicken. Overcrowded chickens do poorly.
