Can a bantam rooster mate with large fowl hens?

[sweeterdeeter42]

Can a bantam rooster mate with large fowl hens with little or no difficulty? My only rooster is a bantam. Should I get a LF rooster for the LF girls, or will he cause a problem with the bantam girls and their chicks being too big to hatch?

large foul hens

Try washing them first.​

I have LF and bantam roosters in my flock. The bantam roosters will attempt to mount any of the ladies, despite their size. In my flock, the LF roosters tend to stick to the LF ladies, but the bantams don't show the same size restraint. I don't know how successful they are in breeding the LF hens, as most of mine can take off running and dislodge the little horn-dogs.
