Yea I think she/he may be a mix of ee. I was wanting to know whether it was a pullet or cockerel.

Pullet, unless she's under 12 weeks.

That is what I feared! Out of 7 total I'm left with 2 pullets and a silkie who's gender is still a mystery. I have two other lavender orps same age. One girl and one boy. I shouldn't play the lottery

After I return the 4 cockerels (3 EE and 1 Orp) should I put my 2 pullets and 1 silkie with the 7 little babies? Who are 2 weeks younger or keep them seperate?

How old are they? If they are all still under 6 weeks, than you can probably put them together. After that they start to develop a pecking order, and integration becomes difficult.

Ok, good deal. My older ones are 4 weeks and 2 days, I have 4 younger ones that are 2 weeks today. The little ones are currently a lot smaller. The ones I would be getting when I swap out the cockerels are 2 weeks tomorrow. So only 1 day younger than the 4 little ones I currently have. That would be 7 little ones total with 3 bigger ones.

They should be fine than. It is much easier to combine birds when they are young and have not developed a pecking order than wait to they are older. Just keep an eye on them to make sure no one is getting pecked/trampled.

Thanks! Then i should arrange a swap for the cockerels asap. Any sense in waiting in hopes any could be hens? do the 3 look like clear cockerels to you?

I think Brownie is your only pullet. The other three all have distinct, 3 row red combs. Pullets wouldn't have combs like that until they are close to adult hood, so I think it is safe to say they are 100% cockerel.
