It was either a silkied or a black one... I am thinking it was the silkied because she has been laying for a while and it was a good sized egg for a serama... I really want to set it but I want opinions

and I do need another rooster... and maybe even more hens

I think it would be fine to set it. considering that your not sure it is fertile. candle it before you put the other eggs on lockdown, and then either throw it away or keep it if it is fertile

thats true. I could just hand turn it while the others are in lock down...
would the higher humidity effect this egg?

I dont think it would. it would only be for a couple days. right?

I don't see spots on the one I was thinking is a paint.

Although, with the black spots on the skin, it could have the pin feathers grow out black feathers..so....

No, it will be fine with high humidity for a couple of days.
