Can one mix Bantams and Standards in a flock?

Generally they can mix and I've had bantams rule the flock. However sometimes accidents can happen and not all standard roos are suitable to have around bantam hens. I did have a hen get an injured leg and eventually die from it. The bantams also received the worst of it when the hen to roo ratio was not so great.

I have Bantams and Standards together, and this evening when I gave them scraps my little Porcelain D'uccle Bantam hen went over and grabbed my huge EE roo and she started a huge fight with him!
