In A Christmas Memory by Truman Capote, Buddy compares his friend to a Bantam hen because she is small in stature just like the breed of chicken.
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.
My bantam hen lays 1 egg everyother day.
It depends on what breed the hen is for example a bantam hen will be much smaller than a large chicken breed. The size of a chicken is not usually measured in dimensions anyway it is usually done in lb :)
The Cochin breed originated in China. They have 4 toes on each foot. The bantam rooster weighs 32 ounces while the hen weighs 28 ounces.
"Banti hen" is a term used to refer to bantam hens, which are miniature chicken breeds known for their small size and ornamental appearance. Bantam hens are often kept as pets or for their beautiful plumage.
i would describe her as a 60 something year old child.

No, it is not advisable
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.
