Because I've had no previous experience with bantams, would a LF hen be OK with them for at least one night?

Depends on the hens attitude. I have a few mixed size flocks and usually don't have issues unless I have an aggressive standard

I keep my banties and my standards together. It would mostly depend on if they know each other well and don't fight when out together, I think.

30 more weekdays until school is out. I cannot wait to have a break from waking up so early for work

She pecked them good a few times, and then tried to fight the hens in the next pen, shes a feisty one, and thats why i picked her to go with Big Red. If I hadn't picked her up I wouldn't have seen she had a whole piece missing on her side

Big Red needs a firm talking to. And a spanking!

The Disney flock is a penned st all times flock, and she has never seen them before. I would've put her with Koutsi my limp ISA brown hen, but I was scared of her pecking at the wound

Do you have anywhere you can isolate her apart from with the banties? Maybe for the day, then sneak her in at night when they're less likely to notice?

I only have the pen Kousti is in, I'm not letting her with the main flock she's going to fight the other hens until she's ground meat. But I don't know how Koutsi is going to react, she might peck her wound, or she'll get beat up. Ah how are four pens not enough!

 

[fluffycrow]

I think I'll put her in with Koutsi, I can't risk her hurting the bantams. I'll put her in tomorrow morning

We will also be having the consent talk with Big Red, and I'll try to locate some hens that can handle him, probably some brahmas or something like that
