Do bantams interbreed with normal sized chickens

[Kajunbanty]

I have mostly bantam hens and at one time I had a beautiful standard roo, he was our first chicken. After having a hen die after seeing the standard try to mate her I gave him to a new home and kept just a bantam roo.
I have only had the bantam roo for over 6 months now and I noticed a month or so back that my standard RIR hens eggs was fertle. So I would say yes to the bantam roo and standard hen but would worry about a standard roo hurting a bantam hen.

Ok, to clarify.... STANDARD is usually referred as a Large Fowl bird. A Standard Bantam is an oxymoron.

Yep, I have 3 pullets out of Sex Link hens and by a Booted Bantam roo.
Plus, I have Silkie eggs in my incubator that are by my huge Buff Orpington roo. He pulled all the feathers off their backs but didn't physically injure them. They tried like heck to outrun him but they didn't have much chance.

That is the funniest thing I've heard today! Poor hen, she must have gotten pretty annoyed after a bit. Chickens can be very silly.

I'll have to keep an eye out and make sure none of my bantam hens get squashed to death.

Yeah, that's kinda impossible to have that because in school we learned that there are no medium genes, they get one or the other, the more dominant gene. if you grow bean plants and cross polinate a short one to a tall one, three offspring should be tall and 1 short. idk it's confusing, but i know the whole medium sized offspring thing is impossible.
