I plan on increasing my flock next spring and am toying with the idea of adding 1 to 2 Bantams. My hens are not free range but they do have a large pen that can easily accommodate double what I have now, plus they get weeds/fruits/veggies to occupy them. I'm worried about any Bantams I get being picked on because of their size. I currently have 1 EE, 2 Wyandottes, 1 Leghorn, 1 Buff Orpington & 1 Black Australorp. My girls all get along very well.
I plan on adding 3-5 new chicks, one of which I know for sure will be another EE. I'm debating on another Wyandotte, a Speckled Sussex, a Cream Legbar, a Mille Fleur d'Uccle and possibly an Egyptian Fayoumi. I'm mainly worried about the d'Uccle, and possibly the Fayoumi, being picked on.
Any and all advice is welcome and appreciated. Thanks in advance.
