Has anyone successfully integrated bantams into a larger flock? Should I keep them separated? (The banties are in a wire coop-not the one in the photo- alongside the normal coop, so everyone can see each other)

I have one (no idea how old or what kind) it was given to me, but he hasn’t integrated well with the ladies (it’s been about 2 weeks and they will have NOTHING nice to do with him)They can be together , my main concern would be a big rooster , but I don’t know if you have one ...
That was my thought too. I didn’t want the roo, like I said, he was given. Today was local poultry show & that is where the bantams came fromIf you continue to add a few here and there you will not have a settled flock . The stress on them from adding new birds will affect their egg laying and they won’t be happy .....
Get rid of the rooster , then add your new hens ... slowly
She is SO pretty. The lady I got them from said the roo carries that trait too, so if we hatch some eggs next spring there should be more that color!Nice d’Anvers, looks like one of the hens is blue quail.
