I have a bantom roo who is super good to his girls, the girls are so attatched to him that if one gets out all I have to do is bring him around, good boy no feather loss on his 3 girls. I have 6 almost 6 week old girls that have been joining them for thier outside time.Right now they are segragated only rarely do they mix as the 3 hens keep chest bumping the chicks, the roo doesn't do anything about it though with other behavoirs he's right on them. When will they become a complete flock?
 
They may eventually co-exist together, but they will always be separate flocks. I've hatched and raised countless chicks and integrated them into my flock, but they always stick together. The black coppers do not hang out with the cuckoo marans and before that, the cuckoo marans would not hang out with my EE's (I sold the EE flock).
It's not a breed thing, it's being hatched and raised together that creates my flocks. In my experience, they only co-exist and do get along, but they're separate.
 
That sort of sucks as I was hoping they would become one flock, oh well the big girls and the bantoms will just have to co exist.
