Can you mix chicken breeds in one coop?????

At the moment i have pekin bantams but they dont lay very many eggs as you all probably know, so i was thinking of getting a hybrid or to. but i only have one large coop. so was wondering if they will all get on together in one coop????

I have got some exbats..... and a light sussex/fresian (sp) bantam in mine.... there was also a wellsummer in there till last week, but she has gone off to terrorise a cockerel as she was just too bossy for my coop :(

There is also a little 11 week old white star in there..... she has learnt to keep out of the way of the big girls ;)

I have four hens, all of different breeds and they are best of mates!
