I wonder if I can order eggs from some one (after I find a hen to hatch them)..I am not sure I want to raise them in the house. But thank you, I had not thought about that!
I did have both sizes of chickens in the past, but I had separate runs at that time.

Find someone within driving distance to you that maintains breeding flocks of bantams you may want to add to your flock. When a hen of yours goes broody, move her to where she can hatch and put her on fake eggs. Once she really gets settled and routinely returns to the broody/hatch nest, drive out and get fresh hatching eggs and put them under her.
I found a breeder on a Facebook Poultry Group and was able to get what I wanted this way.
