I wouldn't be surprised if this has been covered, but I couldn't find anything on it, probably due to keyword difficulty.
I would like to know if there are any concerns with mixing standards/bantams of the same breed.
Would only size be affected by the crossing or are there other traits that could be affected? Does anyone have experience with this, and how difficult is it to regain the breed standard for size if you do it? Are there good reasons in support of mixing them (like type, egg color improvement, etc...)?
Mainly I want to know if it's generally a bad idea or workable.
Thanks!
