Breed and size issue?

[StonerChick]

I picked up 3 mixed bantams from the supply store while I was waiting for my batch of silkies. lol I did get one silkie and I think an EEr (?) and this little girl, Raider. These three are only about 6 days older than my Silkies, but she is getting big so fast! What do we think she is? Is she truly a bantam?My only concern is that she’s trying to fly around (the EEr can already fly to the top edge of the brooder, but she’s teeny) and with her size and gracefulness, lol, she’s constantly plopping right down on the younger Silkies and I’m afraid she’s going to hurt one! Do I separate the older three for a little while until the younger Silkies have a chance to grow a little? They’re barely 10 days old. Here’s pics. I can take one with one of the younger Silkies if the size comparison would help. Thanks ladies & gents!

She looks like a barred Cochin to me. And with those wide white bars, most likely a boy.

Good grief!! The plot thickens. lol

The legs are incredibly long for a bantam Cochin. Post updated pictures in a few weeks.

I personally would separate the three oldest so there aren't any accidents. Especially since the smaller chicks are Silkies.

Thanks so much!! Yeah, I’m really starting to wonder if a full size snuck in the tray. lol If I separate them I also have to reintroduce, huh?

What about just a net type divider for the brooder so they still see each other? Would that help make putting them back together in a few weeks easier? I’d rather not integrate two rounds of new chicks with the older girls. Thanks! Y’all are the best!

This would definitely be the best route to go for less integration problems later!
