2009 Omlet cube and run for sale

[TillyLizzyVicky]

Hi all! Relatively new to the forum, just wondering how people get on with full size chickens and Bantems together?

Got three established crossbreeds and looking to get some Bantems when we upgrade to a Cube (hopefully very soon!)

Any input would be great.

Hi and welcome

 

I have one ISA brown and three bantam breeds and they all get on fine. They didn't to start with, but now they all know their place .

I have one bantam and two full size and they are fine. The bantam is in charge.

Good stuff, thanks for the replies! I understand the pecking order will be up in the air for a little bit but I guess that's the price you pay for such a pet.

 

Thanks again

we've got a bantam Orpington in with a mixture of large breeds, and they're fine together. Three of the recently hatched chicks are also bantams (Belgians), and I'm hoping to keep a couple if girls, and that they'll be ok.

 

Previously had a pair of Pekins in with full size Orpingtons, Silkies, a Legbar and a Bluebell, and again, they were fine. Not sure though whether it was because the Pekins were really rather feisty, and the Orpingtons like Bagpuss in chicken form I know a friend who has Belgians in with a couple of Omlet hybrids as well, and they all got along fine too once pecking order was sorted.

 

 

I think as long as the introductions are done sensibly, they should hopefully be ok
