Hi, I live in Ruislip and want to keep a couple of pekin bantams. My garden is just flower beds and a path and I don't know where to start with a place for a run. I think I may have to give up a flower bed! For starters: How big a coop do I need? How big a run? I'll get on to the rest later .... Help me please!

hello and welcome to the forum.

I've moved you over to The Hen House where you are more likely to get the answers you need

Ideally you should get 3 hens (just in case something happens to 1 of the hens thus avoiding leaving 1 on it's own). The recommended perch length needed per bird is 8-10" per bantam or 12" per large fowl although usually they will use less than this as they do like to huddle.
The size of the run is more important. They need ideally 2 square meters of usable ground floor space per bird (although if they are to be in the run all the time then I would advise 3 sq meters per bird.
