Dutch Bantam intergration

[crazyhen]

I have a problem I have not had before.
When I hatched eggs only one faverolle made it. I needed him a friend and a friend of mine gave me an only one hatch dutch chick. They have been raised together and get along well. The faverolle is full size. I have a full size bunch of hens how do I integrate this tiny bantam in with them! Winter is coming and it is time to move them into the big coops. I have one bunch with a Del. roo and one with a white orp roo. Help. I think its the cutest little thing but I work with egg layers.

Start slow and keep an eye on them. Our d'uccle thinks she's the boss of the big girls.

They are in a fenced yard beside each other so maybe that will help when I do intergrate them. Still which group should I put her with?

We started with a fence in between our groups, too. We don't have roosters, so I can't offer any insight there. Good luck!

I'd try putting them in the coop with the most room. The breed of the rooster shouldn't matter much.
