Brahmas and bantams

[Lunafarmchickens]

Im getting chicks soon and love brahmas, i'd like to get some. The issue is that I'd also like to get some bantam chicks and I'm a bit concerned about keeping them together. I dont think it will be a huge problem as chicks, but I also have some already grown bantams in my flock, and they get on well with the standards but brahmas are just so BIG Anyone have personal experience keeping bantams and brahmas together? Any information is much appreciated, Thanks.

Personally don’t think there’ll be any problems. A brahma rooster may be too big for your bantam hens, but Brahma hens should get on fine with your bantams.
You can always get brahma bantams If you’re worried about them being too big.

As long as they are together from a young age, they should be fine. I raise standards and bantams together all the time.

Brahmas should be fine with the bantams. They are definitely huge birds, but honestly they're the most gentle, laid back birds I've ever had. They tend to be low in the pecking order and generally don't cause issues.
