Each full grown chicken should have app. 3-5 sq. ft. of room. So in a 5x8 ft. coop there is 40 sq. feet. That means you can have 8-14 chickens. Also, bantams are half. They need about 2-3.5 sq ft. per bird. You could have 11-20 bantams (banties).
These figures apply to circumstances in which the chickens also have access to an outdoor scratch yard or are able to free range for part or all of the day. If, however, the hens and roosters are confined to the chicken coop all day and night, they will need more like 10 square feet per full sized bird. Thus a 5 by 8 foot coop would only hold 4 chickens that are cooped up full time.

What is bumble foot in chickens?
Bumblefoot is usually caused first by an abrasion to the skin of the foot pad and then an infection sets in causing a large growth on the bottom of the chickens foot. It doesn't have to be a wide open cut just a small scrape or light abrasion to the foot pad will be enough to cause a problem. Most cases of bumblefoot involve the following bacteria: Staphylococcus Aureus, E.coli, or Corynebacterium. Once the infection takes hold in a matter of days the foot and or foot pad becomes swollen and is somewhat reddened and may be hot to the touch. If the foot is swollen but is still soft to the touch you have a very good chance of curing the problem with antibiotics alone. If you allow it to go untreated, the chickens will often succumb to secondary infections.

How high can skunks reach I'd like to raise my chicken coop above that point?
If you are wanting to skunk proof your coop, I suggest building a run using 4 foot high fencing, (2 by 2 wire), and burying 2 foot of chicken wire below the ground and putting a foot border of rocks around the outside edge of the fence. Skunks can climb, so you could also put poultry netting over the top of the pen. Or you could run a hot wire along the top of the fence. No matter what, make sure the corners are protected, as that is where chickens usually run when scared, and could be grabbed through the fence. Or you can simply lock them in the coop at night. Good luck!
