It doesn't quite work like that. A chickens hard outer feathers trap air in the softer fluffy feathers which is warmed by the hens body. That is what keeps them warm. They don't snuggle to share body heat like furry animals often do.

I think they got it as gently used from the looks of the floor. I could be wrong though.

It's not a horrible coop. :hugs It just needs some tweaking. Expanding it would be the biggest challenge. Ventilation is an easy thing to fix in that tall of a coop. Your chicks are still young. They may get along ok in it. Each bird is an individual and personalities change when they start...

Looking closely at the soffits on your coop....they are closed so no ventilation other than the 2 small round vents that I can see.

With that part bolded..... I wonder if the wall with the nest boxes could be bumped out another 4'. It would mean sistering rafters, making a platform and floor, framing 2 end walls and 2 sheets of plywood or siding. It would NOT be easy but it would give you double the square footage.
