Anyone have a mixed flock of bantams and standards?

Forgot to mention that out of this menagerie I also have only 3 with crests...one silkie and 2 Appenzellars....no one picks on them. I just added some Bantam Black Cochin Frizzles and they are fine as well..

I have around 150 chickens running together, both LF and Bantam. They get along just fine. Most of the time the Bantams rule the roost!

I am a newbie so please excuse my ignorance for asking. Why mix them? Are bantams good egg layers (full size eggs).

I have LF and bantam chickens in the same flock and they all get along fine. There are bantam versions of LF breeds, and true bantams like Silver Sebrights, and the big chickens and little chickens get along so well I have some interesting cross-breed chicks.
