Can you raise Buff Orphs and Jersey Giants together?

I am interested mainly in the Orphs but thought it would be nice to also have a few of the JG since I heard they were great mousers. ;o)

Should I expect problems?

They should be fine together, just if you have a roo of each, if you want pure chicks you will need to seperate them for that. Mixed flocks look good and USUALLY you will have no problems, unless there is a power struggle in the pecking order.

The JG roos might be too big for the Orps, but I'm going to be raising them but in attached coops, not the same one.
