Adding a bantum to an established wyandotte flock

[Maelkoth]

Hello all,

First time poster, but an avid lurker here and on BYC subreddit.

I recently lost a wyandotte hen to prolapse vent, and had a friend from work give me a bird and she says it's a bantum, but she got it from a neighbor. Approx 6-7 weeks ok.

My established flock is 13 months old, great egg layers and treat hounds who will follow me and hang around but hate being touched or petted.

On to this possible bantum. This little girl (pretty sure it is anyways) requires constant human companionship, hates being in the run by herself, and will chirp so loud if you aren't in direct eyesite of her.

The reason the alone time in the run is my flock birds are 4x her size and i don't want her to get pecked to death while everyone is gone for work/school activities, and so the big birds can get used to her.

So my question l, is it feasible to add this little bantum to my wyandotte flock, or am I kidding g myself?

Also I an northern Midwest, and lowest my coop got down to was 33F, and I'm reading that bantums don't do well in the cold.

Thanks


Edit. Added more pics.

She needs a companion of her own age and size.

Then the two of them can be integrated into the main flock with a buddy to offer protection and friendship.

That's what I thought. I've already asked for at least 1 more if not a couple. Can you tell if she is a serama?

I agree and I believe the bantam is a cockerel given the size of its comb.

Sorry, I'm completely clueless about bantam breeds.

It's possible. Do you have any photos of your bantam standing?

The 3rd pic in my OP has him/her standing on my arm. I will try and get some better ones after work today.

Fyi. Thanks for all the replies already!!

Unfortunately that picture won't work, we'll need a full body shot.
