We got four bantams over five years ago. One of them (RIP Tikka) died in the summer, unfortunately she was by far the best layer. Even at five years old we were still getting 15 eggs a week from the four of them. They live in a converted Wendy house with a run attached which is never used as they just roam around the garden, which is big enough that they don't do serious damage. If you have a veg plot let them on it during the winter, as they scratch up and eat slug eggs. Any seeds planted anywhere have to be fenced off or they get scratched up.
I was against getting chickens but was overuled. I wouldn't be without them now, they are an endless source of entertainment (and eggs).
