Will this mix of breeds work?

[MNChick77]

Ok sooo... we had three of each Orps, EE's, And BR's due to come in today. The BR's were not in my order?? I am thinking of replacing them with three RIR's. I have read about the breed, and there are mixed reviews. Will they mix well with the Orps, and EE's?? In the past I had Orps and BR's and the rocks were a bit bossy so I am open to a new breed. All opinions welcome. Thanks

RIRs aren't to nice to orps and ee because there so docile so the RIRs will pick on them but the choice is yours and i just heard this on different websites

I am new to Chickens but I have 6 mixed reds including at least one RIR, 2 BY and 5 Ameraucanas (which could be EE's). They were all in the brooder together until last week when the Reds got moved outside since the are older. They all did fine together in the brooder. There was a little bullying at first when I added the younger 7 to the 6 older reds but after the first day they all got along famously.

Thanks for the input, I tried the RIR's. The BR's I had were bossy at times and could be mean to the other chicks. I guess sometimes that just happens with some breeds. I picked them up and they are all doing well. They are the sweetest little loves.
