I got some bantam (same age as my standards) and try introducing them to my standards who before had easily accepted other birds... This time though it was brutal and some of the birds teamed up on the bantams... What should I do?? I have them separated right now
 
thats tough when they dont get along! try put seperate fence and keep them for a while until they get to know each other. make sure the feed is close by so they can eat along.
 
how old are they...they younger you put them together the better...I had my bantams and standards separate for 6 weeks and then one day just put them all in one building and they did very well...I dont remember there being any pecking at all....but it seems once they get passed 10 weeks they are a lot harder to introduce new flock members to
 
~18 weeks old~ Ive done it before 3 times quite easily.. grr

Of course its one of my nicest chicken being the meanest to the new ones. Ill try putting the bantams inside a guinea pig cage (all I have) Inside their coop for them to get used to each other
