Not sure since I did not buy them, I know son in law brought them in march, so I'm guessing 8 weeks. I have 10 sex links 2 leg horns and a big mommy hen will/can the Roos mate with the bigger hens? And can 2 bantam Roos live togather in peace? I would love to be able to keep both Roos, I love the sound of rooster crowing.

yes bantams can mate with the standard's. and those 2 should be able to get along as long as theres enough hens to go around.

Cute tiny little babies.

Could I give the the female and one roo away and keep one of Roos with my flock of standards. The only reason I would keep one of the Roos is so the female is not kept with her and the two Roos. It would be to much for her to handle. The more I think about it the little darlings are not something I want as I have people lined up to buy my eggs and the bantams lay small eggs and late layers.
