I started my flock last October with a straight run. Long story short I have acquired 3 bantam roosters and 1 bantam hen. The bantams were separated from my larger ladies but now, 1 full grown rooster is with them on their side. There is another rooster chick in the house (about to out him in the coop) and I have the other rooster and hen duo that seem to have a good connection.
With that said, my biggest concern is the hen. The roosters seem to be significantly larger and having 3 I am worried that she will become a liability. I have asked someone who has a much larger flock if she can take any should I have issues but it's looking unlikely. Also, I'm in a neighborhood and worry about the noise.
Is my hen safe? Can bantams roosters mingle with the bigger ladies without issues? I mean it's good enough since he can roost with them.
