Yes. But there may be some fighting at first. If you see that one of your bantams is getting picked on really bad then don't force it; take him/her out.

Why are hen chicken wings are tougher than regular chicken wings at the store?
Hens are much older than the chickens grown for meat. The older the animal is when slaughtered, the tougher the meat. Poulets or capons for meat production usually are slaughtered at around six weeks to three months of age. Hens are slaughtered for stew and soup at the end of their prime breeding age, around one and a half years for egg layers, or 2 years for hens that produce eggs for meat birds.
Should you feed Hens Laying food before they start laying eggs?
Yes. Most grain/feed stores have special layer complete feed that gives the new pullet the extra calcium and protein needed for good egg production. Hens raised for egg production should be started on this feed about one month before expected egg production. This means they can be switched from chick grower, over to layer mash or pellets at about 12 to 16 weeks of age.
When can you tell if a baby chick is a boy or girl?
Well, when a chick is four to six weeks of age you should be able to tell just by picking it up. Pick up the chick with two hands and hold it so that its stomach is facing straight ahead. Hens should pull their legs in and roosters should kick around and try to lose your grip. Just remember to be calm while picking up the chicks though. When they are full grown you should be able to tell just by looking at them. Roosters usually have a longer comb and gobble. They should have spurs on the inside of their legs (unless the spurs have been removed.) When the rooster is around six months of age they should start to crow. Hens have shorter combs and gobbles and do not crow.
What are boiler hens?
I believe boiler hens are also call "fowel" (not ducks) and they are the chickens that have been allowed to reach maturity in order to fertilize eggs to produce chicks. They are called boiler hens because there meat becomes very tough with age and the only way to make the meat tender and edable is to boil it.
Do owls snap their jaws?
Yes, accidents can happen. Most likely the other members of the flock have killed the youngster. Chicks within a mixed age flock are subject to the "pecking order" which dictates the stronger older birds bully the weaker, younger birds. It is not unusual for the older hens to kill a wandering chick.

How many eggs will sixty hens lay in four weeks?
You want your hens are to the age of laying eggs (which is about 6 months), and your hens are under the age of three years (because when they reach this age, they are past their prime, and lay less eggs). Expect from your hens that every day 80% of the number of hens will be your number of eggs. So with this math, if you have 60 hens that are all in their prime, you can expect to get about 1344 eggs in four weeks.
We have 9 chick hens and 2 male ducks- live together since born it's 6 months later and our peking ducks getting the hens down biting the hens necks.Are they trying to hurt them as chicken never yell.?
No. they are not trying to hurt them. The drakes see the hens as "their flock" they are all coming into mating age. They are trying to make the hens submissive. It will not result in anything but a few ruffled feathers and some loud quakes and clucks but they will catch on soon enough and stop bothering the hens. Getting a rooster will also put an end to the ducks confused cross species behavior.

What is the difference between peewee hockey and minor bantam hockey?
The Peewee hockey age group is typically 11-12 year olds, while Bantam would refer to the 13-14 year old age group. The major and minor involves the split in the age groups. Major Peewee would be 12 year olds. Minor Bantam would be 13 year olds. In some areas that do not have many players they combine the age groups, but in many places hockey is so popular it is necessary to have separate the age classes.
