Weird question... can a bantam rooster mate with a regular hen?

Yup! I love my little bantam roo. He gets 100% fertility EVERY TIME. Even with my huge BLRW hen. I love keeping one bantam rooster in my flock of hens, they protect them, breed them, alerts them to predators, and tidbits them. Bantams are nice since they're so small and they are feisty. Plus, just as good roosters as LFs imo.
