The breed of Rooster depicted on the Bantam Books and used as their logo is the Gallic Rooster or "coq gaulois" which is a symbol of France.
Yes, it can be done but the bantam rooster may have trouble mounting the standard hen. Bantam roosters are gregarious and often present themselves as the "boss" bird. Many standard hens will assume the mating position close to the ground thus enabling the bantam rooster to mount the saddle area on the back of the hen. From this position the rooster must be large enough to touch cloaca to cloaca in order to deliver the sperm packet.
Rhode Island Red. I have an Araucana rooster who's name is Alektorophobia (ALEK) and a bantam Barred Rock rooster named Checkers
Same as a Standard male; Rooster, Cock, or Cockerel

Bantam refers to size. If you rooster is small after a year of growth then you'll know.

If you mean can you breed an Auarcana hen and a Bantam rooster without problems the answer is yes. There are even Bantam Auarcana chickens. Bantam only means a size. There are bantam sizes of many different breeds.
