Bantam chickens with normal chickens?

[ChOOkens]

I have 2 ISA brown hens and no bantams. This is a question that passed by me because I was thinking of getting 2 bantams(not anytime soon though.

)

Can normal sized chickens live with bantams in a coop fit for four without bullying or any other problems?

I have one tiny bird in with all my standards (44 total) and they're all fine....I don't know what else to tell you other than what I've seen. Good luck!

I have one bantam hen in with 4 normal hens and two large ducks. The ducks follow the bantam hen around it's very cute.

I've got a bantam cochin in with my 2 adult standards. She's fine. We also have 7 younger birds (many of whom are her size or bigger by now), whom she bosses around incessantly.

I have a leghorn pullet with my bantams. The bossman a lil OEGB wants to mate with her really bad..but she chases him off. Otherwise their fine.

My regular size naked neck killed one of my silkies because he wanted to mate with her and chased her around. Silkies are considered bantams, right?

yup silkies are bantams

I have what is listed below. One of my silkies is half the size of the others. She can run between the legs of the EE's. Granted mine are still only a couple of months old but we have had no issues. The little ones stand up for themselves. I think the problems start if you have a standard roo and tiny hens.

I agree with everyone else you can put them together, but you may have to watch them. Some breeds are just more intolerant of other breeds. But I haven't had any problems.

Would a BO roo and Brahma Bantam hens work? He's pretty sweet.
