Mr.Jigs, the bantams probably need about 4.5 sq. ft each and the standards 6 sq. ft each but you also might want to consider it would be extremely uncomfurtable to them, and they would increase in vulnerability to disease tremendously. I would recommend 9 sq ft each in Standard size and about 7 sq ft each in bantam. In my cochincoop I have 2 Standards A male and a female and 1 bantam a male, while difficult to understand the two males get along with eachother fine, and they have over 168 sq feet of roming space. That is alot but I love them and thats what I will give them so each chicken will have it space when they need it. Hope it Helps, Cochinmun
