Is this chick too big to be with the others?

Can this larger chick stay in the brooder with these other smaller silkies? I've been monitoring them, and they're not pecking or showing any aggression. I have a brooder plate in there I lifted it up for the photo. This is a temporary quarantine brooder. A friend gave me these silkies- hers kept dying so they're in quarantine with corid in their water because I immediately noticed bloody poop upon arrival.

That chick isn't too big to be with the others but whether it is in there or not, the space will be too small in just days.
Do they have room to move away from the heat source?

Yes and I have a large brooder currently occupied by my original chicks. This was a quick toss something together situation lol. Treating them with corid and then will be able to move them into a larger space. For now my main concern was getting them healthy and not getting my others sick. And also if that one would trample the smallest one.

That's cool. IMO, once they are mobile after a couple days from hatch, they can be with various age chicks. Given enough space, I've never had older chicks bully or trample their smaller siblings.
