meat birds with layers?

I got several cornish cross chicks with my chick order, but they are way bigger than the rest. I am worried they will pick on the littler ones. Any advice on whether to separate them or not? Thanks!

I wouldn't worry about it unless you notice a large amount of harassment, or if one is actually injured.

I just put some new chicks from TSC in the brooder with my 3 week olds and they are getting along just fine. It is kind of funny to see the tiny ones snuggle against the larger ones. They are like protective older siblings.
