little roo question

i only bought 3 new chicks this spring (barred rocks) & one is
obviously a little rooster.
currently the 3 are in with the flock, which is overseen by
my Spotted Sussex rooster. i also have a separate rooster yard
for my 4 blue & black Orp roosters (i gave 2 away finally!).
the barred rocks are around 14 weeks old now. am i likely to
have issues with the little guy & the Sussex? the Sussex never
bothered any of the Orp roos, but the Orps *did* fight among
themselves until i separated them to the batchelor pen. they
attacked the Sussex when i had him in the batchelor pen, so i
put him back with the hens.
my kid has "adopted" the barred rock roo as a replacement
'pet' for his vicious bantam black cochin roo, so... i need to
know if i'll have to find it a separate pen or if it'll be ok
with the Sussex & the girls. i wouldn't put it with the Orps,
as it's much smaller. the Orps look more like Jersey Giants...
