one year olds-all hens in same coop as always

Can I put 3 frizzled cochin roos in with them without excessive issues?

I'll move them in to the coopyard in the hutch they are in only seeing one another for awile then let the roos come out as they are confortable.

Is awhile 2 or 3 days or some other time span?
They were getting beat up by other babies( same age full size) and have been seperaterd for about 6 weeks.
 
1. Do a search on BYC for "biosecurity" and "quarantine". Do not put new birds in with an existing flock until you've done this.

2. Roos will fight to determine who gets the 1st priority for breeding.
 
The frizzled have been here 12 weeks and arrived as chicks. Being smaller is my main conern. The girls are bigger which is the fear.The roos have a order for themselves already which will be in jepordy with girls I sure.
At that size can the boys protect themselves?
(they have room to get away if not chaseed to bad or ganged up on)
