Any rooster with any hen?

You can do pretty much any combo with chickens. They all understand what another chicken is, despite the shape, size, color or even if they are a silkie puffball.

The only things that I would advise against are particularly large roos with small hens. I've heard some success stories, but gone through a horror story myself with a silkie hen and australorp roo, so would try to pair full size with full size, and bantam with bantam.

Another thing to keep in mind is non-chickens. For example, I would not mix a male duck in with female chickens. Their reproductive anatomy is very different and the mating could potentially kill the chicken.
