Thanks everyone! It seems Meyer Hatchery is a favorite place here in my state of Ohio. I believe their catalog said they'll be getting more bantams in February. Can you order them for pickup right there at their store/hatchery?

I have had many different types of chickens mixed with bantams together in a run. They all got along mostly. There will always be a pecking order but I found that the chickens flock with their brooder group and so chicks raised in different broody groups stayed groups when they were grown verses going with like types. Roosters......they also have an order. I have two easter egger bantam roos that would chase the younger standard roosters. They would chase them away from the girls and from the feeders. Even when those roosters were full grown. It was sort of funny. I had to literally separate the flocks so that the little bantam roosters could not get to the standard pullets. After a while I integrated the run but those two roosters still would fight - nothing serious but they went through the motions of fluffing feathers and bowing at each other eventually one would chase the other.
