Introduce bantams?

[Briannaquinn16]

Hello so I have 4 4 month old girls, a couple of year olds, and two year olds. And 3 month olds, Basically a mixed flock. I have Peggy Shes at the bottom at the pecking order and she’s a year old but she’s a bit aggressive and that somewhat includes my 4 month olds. So yesterday my 4 bantams and 2 Wyandotte’s they’re 3 months old I have 2 gold seabrights both girls and two Porcelin Sablepoot one girl one boy. And 1 blue laced red Wyandotte and 1 Golden laced Wyandotte. So I have two huge coops so I opened my coop with the bantam group in it so the others can see them. They did pretty good some of the girls only did chasing but no pecking. But however I have 3 girls I’m worried about. Peggy, and two of my 4 month olds Dory and butter finger. They’re a big aggressive. Peggy backed off but I’m worried about them killing my bantams I lost some sleep worrying and worrying. But Picasso my porcelin rooster he comes after some of the big ones which is good. But i just want to know if the big girls will kill my bantams? right now there’s no blood the bantams and Wyandotte’s have a perch to fly on with food and water. Has anyone else had this as well happen?

I have had this happen.
The Big Girls vs Bantums can get very territorial and agressive that can cause grave harm to your Bantums.
Are you able to separate them with fencing for a look but, NO touch? If so, do this. I could take weeks before you can integrate your Bantums.
You can also have supervised visits in your presence. You need to be creative and make hiding places that your petite birds can retreat too. Also ones the Big Girls can't get inside to "team up" as the will do that too.
After a slow 4 weeks of "look but don't touch" I supervised intregration. All was well so I went into the house to get a soda. When I came back one of my girls was laying in a pool of blood literally scalped and not breathing. I gave breaths and chest compressions and began a long 6 week Infirmary inside. She survived hence her new name is: "The Iron Maiden" and now have two coops.
Please be Very careful. Inspect your Bantums daily and make sure they are eating and drinking. Make sure they are permitted to roost in the coop and take note of their position.
I wish you much success with your intregration.
Hope this helps.

Thank you so much for that yes I’m keeping a good eye on them my bantams are with two Wyandotte’s and a little cockerel the girls aren’t that bad this is the 2nd day and they’re not grabbing and pulling they’re just chasing and soft pecking but I’m still a bit worried but If I keep a good eye I think they will definitely be fine. Im very over pertective over them anyways

And the Perch the bantams and Wyandotte’s fly to is in a safe coop with food and water so they’re getting plenty of that
