Most of your flock should get along as all those breeds can be assertive (CAN -- not WILL) and can stand up to each other's flock politics -- the only thing I would do different for my backyard is to have TWO Ameraucanas (or Easter Eggers) since they are primarily considered a "kind-to-flockmates" type of personality and the more dominant breeds tend to take advantage of a lone gentle hen. Two gentle Ameraucanas or Easter Eggers at least can have each other to flock together away from the more assertive/combative types. I used to want a colorful egg basket of brown, chocolate, white, pink, blue, and green eggs until I discovered that different color egg layer-breeds don't necessarily get along with some being docile and others being assertive to downright aggressive. We found Ameraucanas and Easter Eggers as a whole got picked on by our Leghorns (both White and Buff Legs) and Marans (both Cuckoo and Black Copper Marans). At that point we had to decide whether we were going to keep the more assertive layer breeds or have more docile breeds for our backyard flock. We opted for the docile breeds like Silkie, Ameraucana, and Breda, and dispersed our divas (layer and dual purpose heavier breeds). We loved both types of flocks but for the sake of peace and good neighbors we opted for the gentler and less combative breeds. Surprisingly, we still get a lot of eggs from our group -- just not an array of colors like we started with.

I love it when I see owners having at least 2 EEs in a backyard flock -- EEs are usually a kind, non-combative type of flockmate and need another docile companion in a backyard containing more assertive chicken breeds. Are you able to post a pic of your bantam x Americana roo? Is he on the smaller size or the Americana size?

 

[Sylvester017]

Welcome to all you newbies to the thread! If you're able to post, chicken pics are always welcome too!
