Can a Jersey Giant hatch bantam eggs?

Can a Jersey Giant hatch bantam eggs or will they crush them because the eggs are too small? If anyone has tried it before, how many bantam eggs do you think a Jersey Giant could hatch if possible at all?

Some hens are very careful with eggs and some are clumsy. With large hens there is always the possibility of broken eggs. Especially if other birds disturb them.

I agree with @sourland. It depends a lot on the hen. Has she hatched for you before?
