I have two 20 week old Golden Comets and then a flock of chicks (7 Silkies-3 weeks, and EE’s and a few others 2 weeks old). I have the big girls separated form the chicks, would it be safe to get an 8 week old Bantam (Mille Fleur D’uccle) to the younger flock since they are smaller? Or any suggestions?
 
I got a mixture of bantams and standard size and I raised them together and never had a issue. They are so sweet to each other and don't seem to bully each other so I just raise them together.
 
Thanks for the reply! Do you think adding them together at this point with the age difference would be safe?

Yeah I think that they'd be fine. I added two tetra tints and a amber link at around this stage with some bantams and they have all made it without any problems beside the occasional squabble.
