Mixing LF and Bantam

[JDchicks]

Right now I have assorted colors for LF Brahmas (all hens right now).

I would like to get some D'uccles.

Can these two size get along in the same coop and pen?

I have all LF except for 3 bantam cochins...the cochin bantams are pretty much the leaders of the flock

What are "LFs"? I have I have a mixed flock of about 3 month olds who range from a tiny bantam wyndotte and silkie to a cochin cross wyndotte and 3 easter eggers who are going to be big (like puppies they have BIG feet). The bigger three are almost twice the size of the smaller ones. So far, they are all getting along well.

@longgrove: LF = large fowl! We have TINY oegb Silver Duckwing bantams, a few RIR's, and a few that are 3/4 bantam and some breed of LF, and ours all do fine together except that the big girls sometimes step on the little ones! Have always been careful about introducing new birds to the flock regardless of size, and they have plenty of space, since they free range during the day. No problems (YET! LOL!)
