Did I make a mistake?? :(

I am worried that I made a poor decision to trade half of my small flock.

I had three 14 week light Brahmas (2 cockerels and 1 pullet) and one 12 week black austrolorp pullet. My austrolorp is a crossbeak with 1 eye and doesn't travel too far from the run even though they have free run of multiple acres.

I just re-homed my Brahma pullet and smaller cockerel (they were always together so I didn't want to re-home the cockerel alone). In exchange for the brahmas I got two 8 week cochins and one 8 week Welsummer. I was originally told they were 10 weeks...but they are tiny and I'm questioning if they are even 8 weeks...

Anyways. I'm really worried that my Brahma cockerel I kept is going to get lonely (and potentially aggressive) since I just took away his "flock" and his replacement "flock" are so much smaller than him and won't even leave the run yet. I might even set up a brooder for them because the cochins are still fluffy (not fully feathered yet) and I don't know if my older birds will be okay with them roosting with them in the coop tonight... I just don't know what to do.
