According to the American Poultry Association, heavy breeds need 4sq ft of coop space and 8-10 sq ft for run space. Your coop sounds perfect for 4 birds. Plus you free range them.
I do think chicken wire is not enough protection and I would replace what you have on the coop and at least close them in the coop at night but you’d still have to be worried about daytime predators.
The coop is so well built and nicely painted! And the article is written very well. I really like your gravity feeder and am looking to build a couple for our flocks.
