Bantam with Large Fowl hens?

[9SpiceyChickens]

Hello! Currently I have 4 LF hens, none of their breeds are especially aggressive with other chickens, and they personally all have chill temperaments. We are moving in March and they’ll have a larger coup, so we’re looking at getting bantams. We’ve come up with a few potential options-
1. Get 2 or 3 bantam hens- will they be able to integrate in with our large sized hens in the new coop? Or is it too likely for them to have problems?
2. Get a bantam rooster- if it’s a rooster would it be less likely to get picked on?
3. Get a bantam rooster and a bantam hen- same questions as above
4. No new chickens

Our new coop is about double the size of our current one, with 24/7 access to our fenced in garden. What’s everyone’s thoughts?

I incorporated 3 bantams in with my standard hen flock this past summer with zero issues. the banties can fly really well, so they would just flutter up 6 feet to the rafters if they were messed with. My fat standard ladies thought they were magical!

I think a roo would be fine too. However, the reverse is not true. No standard roo in with banty hens.

My standards and bantams all do just fine mixed together

Thank you! I’ve heard stories of bantams getting picked on more than LF, but I think anyone can be picked on by others. I’ll update with pictures/if when I get spme
