Bantam crossed with standard photos

[stuckinthecity]

I would love to see what people have produced when crossing bantams and standard sized chickens together. There is so little out there about mixing them-photos at least. Can I please see your adult bantam x standards?

Silkie rooster with a light Brahma, surely a miracle and took three years. This is the farmer across the road as she's who took our rooster a few years ago.



I'm sure there are some other combos out there but the roosters certainly should be the bantams if you're trying to breed, as was this case. He had to jump up on a brick and the hens would come by and let him jump on them. He always missed though, but finally, he did it. She takes horrible pictures, sorry.

Thanks for the photo! I have had a large fowl rooster breed bantam hens with no issues.

My bantam roosters cannot reach and have never been able to make contact when attempting to breed even my medium size standard hens. Their backs just aren’t long enough to reach.
