Oh, the 'wood-pile boys'. Yes, I see they don´t have that Brahma 'chunkiness'. So, depending on the strain/mix, they may or may not get along, just wait and see. My neighbour here has a mixed flock of little scraggy hens, mainly they have indian blood in them. I had Rocks and Brahma-mixes here, so I let him have 2 rock cockerel chicks and 2 mixed-brahma cockerel chicks for him to improve the size of his birds, so he didn´t just have bones in his pot! Well, the cocks are absolutely beautiful, and all 4 of them get on fine together, and also no probs with his already-resident boney indian cock. Now, they are free-range, so they have lots of space, but it shows that a number of cocks can get on ok. And as yours have grown up together, they could be absolutely fine.Livininbrazil, Yeah, why don't I just hang in there!!! I don't know why I have to freak out about these things. Yes, the pic is in post #898. They're the little crows. The one standing over the cucumber has been re-homed, Wally is the little Black crow(he's the one who usually hangs out with the girls) and Ginger is the big boy in the back. I adore him When I stroke his back he squats. Omg. He melts my heart. Are roosters ever gay? Thank you for your sound advice.
Quovadis, You're right, hatchery birds are smaller. I think it's because they're crossed with reliable egg layers, because that's what the hatchery needs to stay in business...Lots and lots of hatching eggs. They still look the same, though not show quality. They're still sweet, just a bit smaller. I'll leave the question about Bantams up to someone who knows, I'm unfamiliar with them.
If you're interested in breeders' birds, check out the Brahma thread. Tim shows Bantams, There are lots of L. F. breeders there.
Summer98, I could be wrong, but I think the hens have a single row and the cockerels have a triple row. Yeah, the huge Brahmas are awesome, but they eat a lot!
Justin24, ask the Brahma thread people, they might be able to fix you up with eggs. Hope your luck is better than mine. I've only ever hatched four eggs...all four were cockerels!
