I am new to the chicken game and just built a coop about 5x3x5 (L x W x H) I have installed 4 4"x12" vents in the sofet of the roof and I'm sure it's not air tight...do you guys think that is sufficient for 4-5 hens?

You are calculating square footage of floor space, not ventilation.Ok am I calculating sq ft wrong...I have 15 sq ft of floor space and it is also 5 ft tall so at 3sq ft per bird I should be able to house 4 right?
4"x12" = 48 x 4 = 192 square inches for ventilation.I have installed 4 4"x12" vents in the sofet of the roof and I'm sure it's not air tight...do you guys think that is sufficient for 4-5 hens?
