Yes most likely it would be fine. Some breeds of bantams might even be fine with big chickens alike my silkies.
When you get breeds at different times it's a good idea to isolate them for a few weeks, watch for signs of illnesses or parasites. Then put them with your flock. Before you even buy a bird it's a good idea to ask the breeder questions such as, do you vaccinate. If you buy from a hatchery or feed store then most likely there health isn't to be worried about.
