silkies coop question

[Gonzo]

I realize silkies are smaller than your standard chicken, so do you think I could get away with building a 4x4 size coop for 6 silkies? This would save me on building costs... but if ya'll think it needs to be bigger I'll go bigger... What'd ya'll think?

Are they going to be enclosed all the time or will there be a run attached?

I have three Silkies in a 4x4 coop that used to be a playhouse. With the size of them, I would not have a problem going up to 6 Silkies. When they roost together it seems I only have two full size chickens in there. Hope this helps from a beginner.
