12 Week Old bantam. Gypsy is her name,breed unknown :/

I have one the very same color. I still don't know what kind she is but I do believe she is a hen. Her name is feisty. She has time to change though since she's only 6 weeks old. How old do the younger ones have to be to put them in with the big chickens and they not get hurt?
 
They need to be about the same size & putting them in the coop with the others at night seems to help. They may still get picked on during the day, but I find that things get settled in a few days. It's all part of the pecking order & they will work it out. Don't interfere! You've got awhile yet - couple of months or so before they get to be big enough. I'm thinking if they're standard size chickens, btw. I have no experience with bantams or smaller breeds.
