Your run is the limiting factor...it is recommended that you have 10 sq ft per bird run space...so a 12x12 is 144 sq ft or 14-15 birds. Your coop has enough space for a lot more...at 3-4 sq ft per bird you have room for 36-48 birds. I would increase that run to a 12x30 so you can maximize your coop space.

20 birds need 200 sq ft of run....12x17 and 60 sq ft of coop (6x10).
30 birds would need a 12x25 run and a minimum 10x9 coop (3 sq ft per bird) with a 12x10 coop at 4 sq ft per bird

How big should a coop be for 20 chickens?

As we mention in our Chicken Coop Buyer's Guide, you need somewhere between 2 and 4 square feet per standard size chicken in order for them to live comfortable, healthy and happy lives. So, your coop needs the following amount of square feet: 20 Chickens: 40-80 square feet. 25 Chickens: 50-100 square feet.

How many chickens can fit in a 10x10 coop?

Just how much room does a chicken need? A chicken needs about 4 square-feet per bird inside the coop. That means a 10x10 coop would comfortably hold 25 birds.

How big of a coop do I need for 15 chickens?

15 Chickens: 30-60 square feet.

How big of a coop do I need for 12 chickens?

3 square feet per chicken x 12 chickens = 36 sq feet of open chicken room. This means that you will need a 6 foot x 6 foot open coop area for the 12 chickens, plus the area needed for their furniture.
