8 hens will need quite a bit of space if enclosed. You can do a small run but you’ll wind up with a smelly mudhole
if you let them roam, which is best for the hens, they WILL tear up all your planting and flower beds, and shite all over decks, porches, etc
a good compromise is a big fenced pen. Mine was 30x30 with a henhouse inside. Plan on high turnover (everything eats chicken)

My wife wants them for our kids to tend to. They are going to get attached to them and we have tons of predators around our property. Foxes, coyotes, eagles, hawks, etc.
I have held off because of this.
