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.
