Question about Bantams

[TracyLK]

I plan on getting 4 Bantams ( Silkies and Easter Eggers ) and 2 Standards ( Dominique, Buff Orpington )--hopefully all females! Do you think they can all live together peacefully? I am a first timer. I just want to make sure that the Bantams will be okay with the 2 larger females.

Yes, they should be fine. I have about 7 bantams with my two larger birds, and they just do fine. An occasional peck here and there, but overall, they should play it out fine.

Thank you! We are so excited! Hoping they are in the mail safely and all females

Right now I am brooding 9 , 6 wk old bantams with a std RIR. All seems great so far.

If they grow up together, all will probably be fine. They will work out the pecking order as they grow. Introducing bantams to an established flock of standard sized birds is far more problematical.
