Im hatching some silkie and Orpington bantams, I already have 4 large hybrids that are 16 weeks.
I'm going to house them in a separate coop, but they will share a large encloser during the day, will this be a problem? TIA

Silkies often get bullied. Orpington bantams will be big (for bantams). All young birds could get bullied by older and larger ones - it depends a lot on space, interest to distract them and sometimes just individual personalities.
