What breeds do Rhode Island Reds get along with?

I added barred rock, easter egger, white leghorn, orpington, and red sex link to my original 6 chickens. I have 3 RIR and 3 RIR mixes. They were 11 weeks when I got the others. I tried introducing them around 6 weeks for the younger set. I am still working on it. The RIR scalped one of my babies who is ok but has a long road ahead after several nights of integration with no issues. Left them along and within a matter of one hour they scalped the orpington. I'm finally getting somewhere with the older flock. I sit outside I the run force them to be together every night for 1 to 2 hours and shoot anyone with a watergun who gets too aggressive. It's been a lot of work but I think its going to be so worth it.
