Are Brahma hens protective of other breed litter mates?

I am thinking of buying 4 regular laying chicks and 1 Brahma hen chick. They will free-range. When they are adults, will the Brahma, who will be larger, pick on the smaller chickens or will she be protective?
 
My Brahma hens really don’t care about the other chickens and just kind of do their own thing. They aren’t mean. They aren’t buddy buddy with the others. They are just there🤷‍♀️

The Brahma will probably not do either one. Not pick on them, and not protect them.

Chickens care more about temperament than size. Some breeds are prone to bullying others, and some are prone to being victims. Brahmas don't usually stand out either way.
