This playhouse was here when we moved in. I have been trying to figure something out to reuse it. I don’t have dimensions yet...need to find a tape measure. But do you think that it could house 6 chickens? Also any tips for making is a nice cute chicken coop would be awesome!

Without dimensions it's tough to say if it would house 6 chickens.
It appears to be about 4x4 so 16 square feet. That is a bit small for 6 chickens. You will have cold winters so having an attached completely secured large run that can be winterized will be critical if you do use it.
I think you might be able to with a little work to add roosts, nest boxes and reinforcement with 1/2" HC on all the windows and vents. Putting some plexiglass on the window framing to make them effective wind blocks that can be closed and secured and waterproofing the exterior, maybe extending the rake ends with an overhang and getting a little more overhang on the eaves, yeah, I think you can work with it.
My current coop is 32 sq feet and I have 11 birds in there with no issues. I used to have 12 but the neighbors dog downsized me. But the key to my success with 2.66 sq per bird in the coop is my fully secured, attached 192 sq ft run with a permanently open pop door. My birds only sleep and lay eggs in the coop. They are out all winter long in the run as I cover the sides with the prevailing winds with tarps.

There are some examples of playhouses that have been turned into coops in the Coops articles. chicken-coops.12

Here are a couple of them (they don't provide a lot of detail, however).

@DobieLover makes good points re: size. It will be easier to answer your question with the measurements.

im Hoping to measure it this weekend. @DobieLover thank you so much for the tips I’ve never thought about using tarp to help with wind in the run. My ideal thing would be to not have them
Cooped up all winter long

Also any tips for making is a nice cute chicken coop would be awesome!

It's already cuter than the dickens....probably needs some paint or sealant.
But my first though was, can you stand up in it?
That, for ease of tending to the coop cleaning, would be key....
.....along with a spacious enclosed run as @DobieLover mentioned.

It really is cute... even if it's too small to serve as a coop I'd almost want to put it in the run with the chickens to use as they please, as a rain/snow shelter or just something to hop up on.

I know that’s one of my hesitations is it’s not tall enough to stand in but I just think it’s to nice to just use as firewood

Well, how tall is it...and you?
Might be able to build a knee wall base to make it taller.
...or you could give it to someone with little kids.
Agrees, it's too cool for firewood.
