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
