First time Chicken Mom - do Easter Eggers and Orpingtons get along?

Hey all!
Very excited to get my first chickens, I started with Quail because I didn't have the space for chickens but now I do!

There's a local NPIP hatchery near me that has both Buff Orpington and Easter Eggers. Orpingtons came HIGHLY recommended so I definitely plan to get those, but the Easter Eggers are really stinkin cute. And small.

Has anyone had much issue raising Orpington and Easter Eggers together? I'm getting them as chicks so they'll grow up together. I can also only have 4 thanks to my city ordinances.

Thank you!
Yes orpingtons are a gentle breed so they will do good
 
I have brahma walking next to red junglefowl. It looks like a normal man walking next to a tank. They get along just fine. Not a single breed of mine doesn't fit in
 
I just ordered these breeds for the first time too, as well as a Buckeye. I'm also excited! I'm sure they will get along fine. You can mix pretty much any breed. There are bullies in every breed, and you just have to deal with it on a case by case basis. But generally, I think Orps and EEs are not known for being super dominant. Good luck with your chickens. :)
