Cross breed what to expect?

In the Brooder

I have 6 chicks right now in the brooder doing good. The rooster to them is a partridge Cochin and 2 of the mothers Rhode Island reds, 2 Easter Eggers, 2 sapphire gem/Lavender Orpington. Am I correct to believe that in general they should end up somewhere in the middle as far as egg production goes if I have any pullets? I know only time will tell, I just was wondering if anyone else had experience with mixing birds of such varied production and temperament.
 
All of those breeds are fairly decent layers, but you can't really tell temperament across the board.
Thanks for your response. And Yea I figured that about temperament. I just wasn’t sure if the Cochin rooster would drastically drop laying ability in the chicks. But they should at least be pretty 😬
