That's finally what convinced my husband we needed to get our pgymies away from our chicken coop. Our milker doesn't bother the chicken coop, but he's repaired the coop 4x in the last week because our small pgymies use their horns to rip the chicken wire open to get in there and eat all their food.
I went out and found one of my large cockerels had pinned Maple (Bantam) down and was doing what roosters do. He's 4+ times her size!! 
My bantam rooster somehow manages to breed with fullsized hens... I cannot imagine a fullsized RIR breeding with my tiny little silkies or white fluff bantaom cochin ^.^ Biter is extremely gentle with my hens though... My EE roo is not gentle with his girls, he'd hurt a bantam sized one. He worries me. He's a good rooster, but he's not much of a gentleman, he's forceful.I went out and found one of my large cockerels had pinned Maple (Bantam) down and was doing what roosters do.

I kicked him off and took Maple inside, she's not walking and her wings and tail are dragging.... Hope she's OK. Meanwhile, mister cockerel has made it onto the sell list.
The rooster i'm talking about is rough enough, that my gut says if he doesn't mellow out, I may need to consider culling him. The other EE rooster, is nice enough that my cochin roo, allows him near his girls. So that's saying something, you know?
