How old are they? They will probably be alright together. It would be hard to introduce them if they were adults. But as long as they are young enough, you should be safe to go ahead and put them together.

You can raise any type of breed together. It's easier to start them all off when there chicks, but you can mix ages if u need.

they are all 1 week old

Then they should be okay. Chicks don't usually set up the pecking order until they are around 2 weeks.

That's fine.
