Can a normal sized hen sit and hatch bantie eggs?

I'd use an incubator or buy chicks if I were you. She'd probably step on the eggs or chicks if she isn't careful enough.

Give it a try, cousin of mine has raised bantams under her standard hens
 
I agree give it a try. I've had standard and banty broody hens hatch both standard and banty eggs as well as duck eggs. In fact my hens are better at hatching duck eggs than the ducks. I almost always get a 100% hatch from the hens with duck eggs. I just had a banty EE hen hatch 6 out of 6 Snowy Mallard eggs.
