Will my d'Uccle Roo fertilize other large breeds?

Not sure where I should post this question. Seems that in this new batch I have a d'Uccle roo. He's the only one in a flock of 13. (Hadn't planned on any Roos, but he happened & I love him). I have one other for sure d'Uccle pullet. If I decide to incubate eggs next Spring, should I only try to hatch out the other d'Uccle eggs? What's the likelihood he fertilizes the large breeds as well? They're still in the brooder, but I'm already curious. I have a Barred Bantam Cochin I might attempt hatching out as well. The other breeds are White Rock, NH,& unsure of but likely a Red Sex Link or Golden Comet. Thanks.

Do you think the pullets , from cross breeding,will lay? It would be more for eggs than anything. TY

Yes, I knew that. People look baffled when I say you don't need a rooster to lay. The easiest way I can explain it to them is "A woman ovulates every month, even if she does get pg., a chicken ovulates every day, even if there's no rooster".
