what size chicks come from bantam hen full size rooster

[CHICKEN77]

I have a bantam hen that mated with a full size rooster, she is sitting on fertile eggs right now i was wondering what size the chicks would be. Does a bantam take the 21 days to hatch her eggs or do they hatch sooner?

It should be the same length of time.

The chicks should be smaller--because the hen lays a smaller egg, but the chicks could be small, large, or in-between after growing out. For the next few generations, you will see some smallish stock--even from bigger eggs--- Every now and then you'll get a random throwback to the banty size.
