If unwound get a couple chicks that are banties and a couple that are normal size would it be okay to raise them together in the same brooder?
 
I have raised my bantams, sexlinks and EE together. The bantams don't take crap from the bigger guys and girls

Yes! You can raise bantams and large fowl together. The exceptions that I can think of would be:

1. A very heavy Black Jersey Giant rooster with bantam hens (he would crush the poor things)
2. Aggressive Rhode Island Red (RIR) hens with sweet little silkies or d'uccles (although some have probably done even this successfully).
 
1/2 my flock is banty and the other 1/2 is regular size and everyone gets along and my cochin roo was the first to crow
