    I need some advice on adding Bantam hens to my existing flock of standard size

    They’re D’Uccle’s. How many are you getting? I just don’t personally think it’s a great idea at the moment while your large rooster is being rough with your large hens. But I will tag @aart as they’re far more knowledgable than me and may be able to help you more or tag someone else that does.

    Many bantams come in mille fleur. I’d ask what breed they are if you want them. But yeah, I’d still go for bigger hens of that’s possible

    What breed? Mille Fleur is a colour. Regardless, I think bantams will be too small and are likely to be overbred too. Personally I’d add another 3+ large fowl hens.
