Those are giant breeds except for the bantam. I agree with the previous poster in that it isn't a very large space (when using the bunny to gauge), especially for those breeds, all of which would grow to be bigger than the rabbit in the picture. You may have some issues with the bigger ones picking on the bantam, and each other for that matter. Not having enough space for them leads to some real nastyness regarding pecking, egg eating and just generally ill tempered, unhappy chickens. Also big chickens means big poop. Be prepared to move the enclosure weekly or at least bi-weekly.
