Are there any problems using a small rooster for our full sized hens? Our excellent rooster passed away. We are casually looking for a replacement. Our good rooster was very intelligent, never aggressive, somewhat small and of unknown or mixed breed since he adopted us and he produced high quality chicks. He was a bit small. To find a smallish rooster of good character I think we might get a bantam. Any suggestions? I'm not fond of the Brahams and might consider a Japanese. I have Delaware hens with plans to purchase Buff Orpingtons.
