Can a bantam rooster fertilize another breed of hen?
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.
Do hens and roosters mate and how?
Yes Hens and roosters mate and its a good thing they do,otherwise the species would die out quickly. The rooster picks out a hen and does a "dance" for her. Stepping sideways,spreading his wings close to the ground and "sharpening" his beak in the dirt. The rooster approaches her from behind and grabs her neck feathers and she lowers herself almost to the ground in a squat position. The rooster stands on her back and touches his cloaca to her cloaca transferring a sperm sac. Roosters do not have a penis, both genders have a cloaca which is a dual purpose sexual and excrement organ often known as a "vent". Actual mating only takes seconds and when done the hen often shakes her feathers and preens, tiding up ruffled feathers while the rooster goes off to find another hen.
