Breed bantam hen with barred rock roo

[caseymacom]

I have 1 bantam hen that is lonely, she keeps trying to go in the pen with my br they don't seem to bother her, I have 3 hen and 1 roo, if I let her in will the roo mate her and would it be ok if he did

Yes, he will and yes, it will provided she is mature enough to squat for him.

When chickens mate the hen squats. This gets the weight of the rooster into the ground through her body, not just her legs. Roosters can outweigh the hens by quite a bit even if they are the same breed. The hen squatting is nature’s way of protecting the hen from the weight of the rooster.
