You can house 16 chickens in an 8' x 8' chicken coop if the chickens are also allowed to free range or have access to an outdoor scratch yard. In this case, they only need about four square feet apiece as the coop itself is used primarily for nesting, roosting at night, and shelter in bad weather.

If the coop is the chickens' only environment and they do not have outdoor access, they will need about 10 square feet each, meaning that a hen house of this size could comfortably house six chickens.
