Hi Laura: The short answer is "Yes you can" the second line reads "GOOD LUCK WITH THAT". Many folks run coops with mixed flocks. The results are entirely unpredictable. After a few years raising poultry I can say with some confidence that You never know what's going to happen. No matter what you do one of the most important things is "space". Some birds require more room than others, some can be caged without harm. Whatever, overcrowding is asking for trouble. Any flock of birds will resent newcomers, sometimes violently. It depends on how strong the territorial thing is. In the case of Game Cocks the only answer is surrender or die. Gamecocks don't surrender.
