Is this enough space for my 5 chickens ? It’s about 36sq feet for the run. They all get along great so far!

I don't lock them in the coop ever just the coop run combo and we have a shaded backyard

They also need good air circulation.
Is there a predator apron on the "run"?
How do you plan on cleaning out the "run"?
The entire setup just looks temporary to me, too small for the number of birds you have and very difficult to maintain in the long term.
You can give it a try and see how things go for you and them.

I clean the coop daily and stir the run mulch apply coop fresh and replace all mulch monthly. I want a bigger coop but in my area seems like everything is sold out guess everyone is doing chickens? I had to drive 2 hours just to get this starter coop. Im not a person who can build something from scratch. But I was hoping by this being just a go to for nighttime it might be enough space if they could free range the backyard. If not Ill wait to see if some more run extensions come up for sale.
