Bantam hens and Standard Roos? HELP!

[CottageChicken22]

Can Bantam hens and Standard Roos be able to mate together safely? also can bantam roos successfully mate with standard hens or is it dangerous?? thanks in advance.

anyone??

Small roo and big hens are fine. Big roo and small hens can injure the hens because a 12 lb rooster standing on the back of a 2lb hen can't be good for the hen.

but can bantam roos actually mate with standard hens??

Yes, just takes more practice.
