Is it Possible to Raise Bantam Chicks With Standard Chicks?

[LadiesAndJane]

I raised a tiny bantam Sebright chick with leghorn chicks. Guess who was the boss?

Exactly!

I have no advice or experience to add.

But.... I did just see tiny bantam chicks for the first time at the farm store yesterday!! They were soooooo adorable Alas, I absolutely cannot get anymore permanent resident chickens, we are at our limit

So I'm getting chicks this spring and wondered if I can rear them together, maybe if I mix turkey starter with the chick starter, and maybe put the temp a little higher? Is that something people do successfully?
If not, I'll probably just skip the bantams this year.
Thank you so much in advance!

I raise bantams, & standards together all the time. I feed them 24% chick starter for both chickens, & game birds.

Is it ok to get very few bantams with lots of standard chicks?

I've done it, without problems.
