Can Polish Hens get along with about 8+ other non-polish hens?

We're looking to get 1-3 Polish hens and I was wondering can they get along with up to around 8 (maybe more, likely max though at 15) other non-polish hens or will the Polish get picked on definitely? Either way I am prepared to house one separately if I have to.

Here are the other breeds of the hens that may or may not be in the same flock if I keep the Polish in with them:
Cuckoo Maran
Buff Orpington
Ameraucana mutts (EEs)
RIR
Delaware
Barred Rock
Silver Laced Wyandotte
Gold Laced Wyandotte

I'm just wondering if it will be a guarantee that the Polish will get picked on and house it separately or if I should try it and see if they all get a long with no one getting seriously picked on.

Thanks in advance,
-Anna
 
There is no guarantee, but my lone Polish gets along fine with my mixed flock:

7 Buff Orpington
4 RIR
5 NHR
7 Barred Rock
6 Black Sex Link
1 Bantam (White)
1 Bantam Rooster (lavender)

My Polish is small too, she is between the size of the Bantam and a BR.
