Hi,
We want to give our broody hen some fertilized eggs from our rooster and laying hens to hatch. We have 2 beautiful isa brown regular sized hens we have seen our bantam pekin rooster get with and we're wondering what the fertility rate was like and if our broody hen will be able to hatch the other hens possibly fertile eggs
Kind regards
 
Yes a broody will hatch another hens eggs.
Fertility rate will depend on the individual birds more so then the bantam X full size.
Bantams can breed a large hen just like a large rooster would. Size doesn't matter.
A couple things in your favor is that you only have one rooster and only two hens. That set up normally results in really high fertility rate.

Sorry I forgot to say that we have 8 hens, six of them laying, but our rooster really only seems interested in those girls.
