Yes
you can hatch them together, bantams might hatch slightly earlier - 12 hrs - 1 day
 problem comes when brooding if large numbers  / space tight then more chance of a bantam being squashed. If only small numbers then not a problem / or consider splitting / or 2 brooders

Yes, as Big L ight says.


We have hatched them together with no problems but it was in small numbers.
