Can I put a polish bantam rooster in the same coop and my regular sized hens?

I have got in touch with a breeder about getting 2 Polish Bantam roosters; I would like to know will my normal sized hens pick on them? Will the roosters mate with my hens? Please help me out here! Thanks in advance!

Certainly! Your rooster will try to mate with your hens despite the size difference. Quite funny honestly.

Will the hens peck at the bantam rooster? Most likely yes. Over time they'll warm up to each other. I would do research on proper chicken introduction to an existing flock. Just because your roosters are small doesn't mean they'll get pecked at. I've seen bantam rooster rank up and dominate all the hens. I've also seen bantam rooster who never quite get up there, especially with the bigger girls.

Only issue I see is depending on the size of the flock and area they are in 2 roos might not get along over time. They don't like to share ladies.

Very frequently even large fowl Polish have their crests pecked out by non Polish flockmates.

The 2 Roos is already in his flock with normal sized hens
