What is a good run size for 2 buff Orphingtons and 3 Golden Comets?

I am trying to build my run this weekend and I was wondering if 8 x 8 run in big enough for my future flock.
Pointers would be helpful.

An 8x8 run is considered big enough for 6 birds so I think you are fine with just 5 in that space.

Of course bigger won't be complained about by the birds.

Thanks for the info. Also I am hoping not to do chicken math.

8x8 is ok but I'd go 10x10 if you have the room. Doesn't seem that much bigger but gives you space to put in some clutter for them to interact with, without eating up all the floor space, and 10x10 dog kennels make for a decent base unit to modify.

That's plenty!
