Chickens are used to produce eggs and meat for humans to eat, and there tend to be a lot of humans to feed on this planet. Bald Eagles are wild animals, and humans have infiltrated their environment so much that it affects the number of birds there are around. Some folks see them as pests because they can catch and kill other birds (like chickens) and fish.

If you have a coop to house twelve chickens what do you do with extra chickens?
How many extra chickens??? Is your coop REALLY only for 12 chickens? Chickens don't mind close quarters for sleeping and coming in for food or water, but you need the outdoor run area to keep them happy too. The space for 12 chickens cannot be specifically defined, since they vary by size and disposition. If you have a few more, then make sire they have the outdoor run space if fenced. If you have a rooster, this changes the behavior of the chickens, too. If you think they are overcrowded, then you have two practical options - give them away / sell them to someone that wants chickens or, save yourself a trip to the store and have a fresh barbecue.
