Bantam sized rooster with standard sized hens?

[Kornet]

I just lost my rooster, he was very attentive and loving to his girls however he was very big. His favourite girl had damage to her back and the smallest girl fled from his advances to avoid being crushed. I was considering getting a bantam sized rooster to replace him. However I read somewhere else that to make up for their small size, bantams can be pretty brutal in mating with bigger sized hens, damaging their combs in order to hold on ect. Does anyone have any experience with having a small rooster in a flock of regular sized hens?

My oegb didn't do much damage.

Behavior depends on the birds involved.
Space and flock dynamics have an effect too.
Size often doesn't matter....except those little ones often can't 'reach' to fertilize.

I do think that bantam males are more likely to be people aggressive.

So, make sure you get a male that is good with humans...

I have not found bantam males more hen aggressive. The lighter weight of a bantam male is definitely easier on the back feathers.

My bantam rooster is sweet with his girls but I have one regular sized chicken that is missing feathers near her comb bc she pulls away during his advances and he grabs her by these feathers obviously pulling them out. He is sweet otherwise

My large fowl mature hens mostly point and laugh at bantam boys.. rarely choosing to submit. Your mileage may vary.

Hen only flocks are also a fine choice.

Sorry for your loss!
