Mixing banties and standards in the brooder??

[GoChick 101]

Is it okay if bantams and standards are raised in the same brooder? I've heard that the bantams get picked on more if they are together. Would it be better if there is the same # of bantams and standards? Thanks for the help!

last year I raised 15 standard and 5 bantys together - and they were fine - they are a year old now and still get along great.

in the brooder now I have 10 banty cochins and 1 standard somethingerother and they are getting along great.

I think if they are the same age and you get them at the same time everyone will get along fine - expect a little pecking order but you will get that from any size baby

My banties and standards are all together with no problems. If anything the little ones pick more than the big ones.

Mine are fine as well.
