Bantams x Standards crosses?

[KAGs waterfowl]

Hi all,
So I have a few questions regarding bantam x standard breeds crossing.

I have a bantam cochin rooster, and standard sized Cochin hens, if I hatch any chicks out of this cross, what would the result be size wise? My Cochin bantam roo isn’t APA, just a hatchery bird, if that helps.

Also, what breeds carry the recessive dwarf gene? I think it’d be interesting to use to that gene for some crosses.

And last, but not least,
If I breed my Sebright rooster to my standard Wyandotte hens, what would the size be of their offspring?

Thanks in advance!

I have a Cochin bantam roo I have crossed with Standard size hens (a couple of different breeds) and one of them was 6 weeks when I got rid of him, he had been the same size as the completely standard sized chicks I hatched him with. I also have some of the same cross that are 4ish weeks old, but this time I don't have any fully standard sized chicks to compare them to. Here is a recent pic of them with their bantam Cochin mama who adopted them.

From what I have read, bantam roos with LF hens will result in technically standard sized hens but still smaller then their standard moms.

Thank you for the info, they’re adorable!

They'll be in between, possibly with odd proportions

I was just wondering, have you done this?
