Can bantam chickens eat laying pellets?

[Chickadee-23]

I have 6 hens no roos, and i have 4 large breed chickens, anyways i was using crumbles, but my large breeds kept knocking the food bowls over so i switched them to pellets so far no spills, and they hve been on it for week, but im worried about the bantams since pellets are bigger and they are small birds their game hens, so should i get them a bag of crumbles? Thanks

I haven't kept game hens before, but my bantam Silkie who is around laying age eats fine with pellets (I use the Blue Seal brand), when she was younger she struggled with eating them though.

Your birds will have no problems eating pellets

My adult bantams eat pellets fine, including a couple of oegs. If you are worried I would keep an eye on all of them weight wise to start with (weigh them if you can, or check crops) until you are sure everybody is eating the new food, chickens do not like change, sometimes they will not eat new food just because it is new, not because they can't.
