Can I house Bantams with full sized chickens?

[Nigellas]

I just got a few Dutch Bantams... And now I'm wondering if I could add a larger breed for some bigger eggs? Just one or two... Would the big girl pick on the banties?

Thanks!

I used to have a few BOs in with my bantam flock. They never caused problems, but I only had 3 in a flock of 12.

Shouldnt be a problem. There will be some fighting, either way, but that's unavoidable. You'll never know until you give it a try.

I have three adult silkie girls in with my three month old copper black marans. Some of the roos are learning to tread the silkies, and I can see that pretty soon I will have to separate them, but not today..
