Can my roster breed my bantam hens

[animalwild]

Hi, I have a Rhode Island Red rooster and some bantam hens that I would like to hatch some chicks from. Could my rooster fertilize these hens eggs or would I have to get a bantam rooster?

I personally wouldn't, a large rooster could hurt the smaller hens, whether the eggs are fertile depends on the rooster and his abilities.
