Bantams and full size together

[hartlesslove]

Hey Ya'll...I'm new here. I have 1 Barred Rock Rooster and 4 BR hens all bantams about 4 months old. I am getting 5 full size BO tomorrow about 5 months old. My question is...do I need to get a rooster for the full size BO? Thanks ya'll.

I have 11 full sized pullets and 1 bantam pullet and 2 bantam Roos. You should see those little guys courting the big girls your big girls will be fine with the bantam rooster.

Thank you, I'm so happy to hear that! Another question, hope thats ok, Is it really neccesary to quarantine the new ones? I know people who haven't and everything went well. I do have a huge coop and run considered the amount of chickens I have and will have.

I would quartine. I got some chickens from daughter, I was sure the chickens and chicks were healthy but they were not. I could have lost my flock for being careless and trusting. I will never put new chicks or chickens in with my flock with out quarantining.
