I just bought a new batch of bantams from tractor supply and dispite all the research I did on the breed I wanted I got the bantams instead. Can someone please tell me how big or small these birds will be and how they will get along with my rather friendly flock. Thanks

The two striped ones are Old English game bantams, most likely. They are smaller sized bantams, but pretty tough, and they are fast, so they can usually avoid trouble.

The white ones appear to be Silkies, which are larger sized bantams, and not as tough, usually.

I am not sure what the dark, non-striped chick is at this point.

Through careful introduction I think these babies will be fine in your flock. There is a lot of information on BYC on how to introduce new birds to a flock.
