They will definitely be different sizes when grown. If the cochin is a bantam it will be smaller than the barred rocks but much larger than the sebrights. I would personally separate by size. You don't want the big chicks accidentally squashing the little sebrights.

Hi Group,
I'm new to chickens. I picked up 11 one-month-old chicks yesterday.
I have a few questions but I'm going to ask each individually. I hope that is okay.
The feedstore told me that the chicks would all be the same size when grown but I'm thinking not. They are 1 Black Cochin (possibly bantam) 2 Gold Seabrights (certainly bantam?) 3 Buff Orpintons and 5 Black Barred Rocks. They have been raised together since birth — do I need to separate out the smaller breeds?
Please advise.
