What roosters breed should I get ?

[BabeMj]

I used to have a bantam Cochin as well as Speckled Sussex and various other large breed hens. And likely medium size

Do you think just my 4 hens will be okay with one rooster bantam? He won’t over mate with them?

I love my Cornish bantam boys. Docile with people when caught and they aren't super loud compared to other breeds I own

Have they mated with your standard size hens? Will 4 hens be enough for 1 bantam rooster

It depends on the individual rooster but I think it will be okay. If not, you will have to figure something out.

Any place you could recommend me find a bantam rooster that is already ready to mate?

You could try Craigslist or your state thread on here maybe

I don't keep him with standards. But bantams can typically breed large fowl. As for numbers, just depends on individual birds. Males can be too rough, or hens can have too delicate of feathers, or both

My pick would be a Pekin rooster.
