Belgian and Dutch bantams

[Anonymous]

Has anyone kept Belgian and Dutch hens together? I have booked 2 Belgian hens today and the breeder told me she had given up breeding Dutch bantams as they were more dominant, plucked the Belgians beards and were much flightier. She had kept them together from hatching. Has anyone had any experience of keeping these two breeds together? I was hoping to buy 4 hens this year and cockerels in the future. Thank you.
