Should I separate the Bantams from the standards?

I have a Wyandotte roo that is now getting on top of my booted Bantams. Isn't he too big to be doing this and won't he hurt the hens? I am wondering if I shouldn't separate them so that they are better matched up in size so no one gets hurt.
 
I dunno for sure, I can only tell you my experience. I have all LF brahmas, except for one accidental bantam hen, Maggie. My roo weighs 13 pounds, yet Maggie has never had a problem with being mated by him.
If he were clumsy or more aggressive in his mating attempts, I suppose injury to the hen is possible; it just has never happened with mine.
