Hi there, hoping to get some insight here. I have 4 or 5 (8 week old) bantam pullets that are in a coop and 9 (5 week old) standards. They seem to be closish in size. What are the chabces I can mix them together and they'll be ok?
 
I wouldn't just let them in together right off the bat. I would let them see each other but not touch for a few days, then if you have the ability to put them all together in a larger maybe more neutral area i would do that but make sure to supervise.
 
You can try it and see, but I would supervise just in case. They may just accept one another, or they may not. 8 week olds are right at that cusp where they may not accept newcomers without fuss.
