Can you put bantam eggs under LF broody?

or will she squish the little things? She's a big girl, 7 or 8 pounds.

A lot depends on the individual hen. I have had large fowl hens who readily hatched bantam eggs, and I have had others who were very clumsy and broke standard bird eggs. One thing that helps protect the eggs is a well formed, bowl shaped nest with lots of bedding (grass hay is my favorite) to cushion the eggs.
