Should you let Bantam chickens free range with your big chickens?

[EmeraldRuby]

Just asking , because we might be getting Bantam chickens soon and we have 4 big chickens. So I was wondering if you should let Bantam chickens free range with your big chickens.

Thank you guys! P.S The regular chickens are 1 year olds in about 1 month 1/2.

Introduce only adult bantams and do it slowly. Otherwise the bantams can get picked on and possibly killed by the bigger chickens as they are being put into the pecking order. Besides that they do very well free ranging.

I have large fowl and bantams living happily together. As long as they have enough space they should be OK. I second the only putting adults bantams in, younger ones are easily picked on.
