Can a hen and a bantam live together?

[GamingGopher]

I have a 12 week old hen named chickadoo and her brothers are needed to be rehomed as they are too loud for where we live. We would like to keep her but I heard that they can not live by themselves. If we got a smaller chicken type it would be easier to handle so I was wondering if a bantam can live with a hen.

Thanks

It depends on the current pullet you have, if she is more docile then you can probably have a a few bantams in with her. If she's in any way aggressive I wouldn't.

What breed is your pullet?

She is thought to be a barnyard mix but not too sure. She has never pecked me unlike her brothers . And she has never appeared to be voilent. What do you think I should do? Can they live on their own? Thanks

Bantam hens and regular large hens can live together.

They really do need at least one for company. They are very social animals.

Bantams and standards can live together just fine.

They will be perfectly fine. I have everything from large English Orpingtons (old lines so they are big) to little D’Uccles. They all get along.
