He will definitely be tiny enough to be a house chicken! I understand what you’re saying about the Roos. I have bantam hybrid Roos with my Serama boys, and they’re much bigger. I raised them all together though, and I believe that’s why my setup works. If you decide to place him with the flock, monitor very closely. It might work out over time. As for me, none of my Seramas are with large fowl. I will not take the chance.
I keep 2 separate bantam flocks and 2 LF flocks all separate.
That’s an idea. I’m trying to call him different names now to see if anything feels right. I wanted Disney princess names but I can’t find a prince name that starts with an MHow about Mars, short for his old name!
That would become quite awkward
Most definitely I’d monitor them if I choose to see how they would do together! Wow! That’s quite a bit to manageHe will definitely be tiny enough to be a house chicken!

Definitely a cockerel . . . I see those pointed feathers in addition to his very red comb and wattles.I attached a pic of when I got the baby and now.
If anyone can help it would be cool
If he is biting you, he would be attacking. One of the only exceptions to this is when they are friendly, because males that are very affectionate towards humans have a high chance of trying to mate with them.
Droppings has nothing to do with gender. Nothing. And dropping shape varies depending on the type of dropping.
Yep. Some hens crow (mostly in a female-only flock or when she is trying to express her dominance), but crowing is of course mostly done by the males. I have a hen that crows, even though there are plenty of roosters around.
All chickens have saddle feathers. The shape of the saddle feathers is what matters. Pointed for males, rounded for females.
I would not risk putting a bantam male with large fowl males. That will certainly end up with either an injured or dead chicken. Been there, done that (though not on my own choice). If he is okay with being a house chicken, and you are willing to change a chicken diaper several times every day, then that would be fine.
oh I like Merlin! Great suggestions
I hope that you can find a name that fits your gorgeous bird!
Merlin is a bird species so I really like that one!
