Can OEGBs Live Harmoniously With Large Fowl?

Hi! I’m really hoping to get Old English Game bantams this year, and wondered if they can live with normally sized chickens?? Thanks!

Mine do, but mine have lots of room.

Mine do fine but they free range in the day time.

Ok thanks! Mine will have a decent sized coop and run, with a very large fenced yard thingy. They might free range this spring; until we plant our garden

I have one little OEGB cock that backs down full size roosters many times his size. . But they never really fight.

I’m going to order an incubator soon, then hatching eggs from someone. Then my chicks I ordered will be coming!

All birds are individuals. Which ones do well together seems to be less related to size than personality. I had a polish bantam who was top dog over an easter egger roo who was 3X his size. Giving them plenty of room is solid advice with all chickens, but as far as the size thing goes you should be fine. The cockerel in my avitar was 1/2 OEGB and 1/2 something standard. He was a cool little bird, until some predator decided to make him lunch

It was a long time ago. a lot of roosters have come and gone since then. Thank you though
