New bantam father

[Jay2017hesser]

Hi everyone,
This spring i bought 8 goldenlaced wyandotte bantams, one turned out to be an old english game fowl bantam cockrel. All in all i have 4 pullet and 4 cockrels and surprisingly they all live together and get along. I wanna get 10 to 15 white leghorn pullets and put them in with my flock. The key to this is that they produce alot of eggs. Also i want to breed them with my bantams and develope a prolific medium size bird. My banties have my heart they are so awesome and loving, just hope i cant give the new additions as much love and attention as my banties. This is my first flock since i was a kid without my greatgrandmother help, hope im not expanding too fast! Any advice is welcome!

Hi and welcome to BYC There's no such thing as "too fast" when it comes to chicken math. Good looking chickens there.
