Ok to have standard Roos with bantam hens?

[muscovy94]

The only chickens I have are bantams. A friend of mine gave me some mutt standard eggs. if one of them hatches out a roo would it be ok to keep him with my bantam hens or would I need to rehome him?

I have heard it is not ok to have a standard roos with bantam hens. I don't think I would want to anyway. My little girls are pretty little and the few standard roosters I've had to rehome were big boys!

I had a LF EE roo over a big d'uccle hen, but she was probably the biggest d'uccle hen id seen in my life. She did just fine with my LF roo

In my opinion, it doesn't work. The big roos still try to mount the little hens and it's really hard on them.
