Large Polish rooster aggressive towards Banties

[rccola7]

I have 11 chickens of assorted sizes...four are banties and the rest are larger-sized. All are 3 1/2 months old. The past few weeks my Polish rooster started being very aggressive towards my banties (3 hens and 1 rooster). Is this behavior just going to become worse the larger he gets? I really like my banties and don't want them to be continually fearful...I am wondering if my Polish should be headed for the stewpot and my banty rooster be allowed to be "the man" of the yard.

Your polish rooster is probably too large for the bantam hens to be comfortable with, so if you had to keep one then you should probably keep the bantam.

Do you have any other standard birds for your polish to be introduced too?

Yes I do...he's just kind of a turd, he grabbed our Polish hen by the head feathers and drug her around the yard...but I find that unless there is bloodshed, it's usually best to stand back and let them be chickens. I have a way to separate my free-range area into two spaces so I will probably do that. Thank you!
