We finish our bantam boys in the same way as the big ones. They do tend to be a bit more of a pain in the **** though so some get done a little sooner if they are driving me mad. They do tend to fight more than the LF.
We tend to skin our bantams and turn them into casseroles, curries and soups. The big boys get plucked and roasted. I am also a fan of the hot water method as described by Roitelet - makes plucking much easier and quicker.
Usually we kill and pluck on one day, then hang the birds in a cool shed, and gut them a day or two later. Sometimes we do all three steps on one day (and gutting is easier if the bird is still warm) but it really depends on how many we have decided to do and how much time we have/what else we have to do that day.
