I am so darn cunfuzzled i only have those 2 roos and a silkie roo

It could be the wyandotte, I just wouldn't guess that a wyandotte would make a single combed chick.. hmm

Okay, outline this in complete sentences and with detail please. I have a headache and that first post was hard to follow. You have the hen in the photos and you'd like to recreate her. You know for certain the dam was a Lavender Orpington? Something about a Silver-laced Wyandotte cockerel that was too young to breed and a Silver-laced Polish that was old enough could be potential fathers? Which loginally means it was the Polish? What about the two cockerels in the second picture?

The bird in question does not have Polish in her. I can see the American Orpington shape, but the feather pattern isn't actually Silver-laced. It's double-laced or pencilling. Maybe a combination of both.

Hens can store sperm for much longer than a week. A month usually is the minimum to wait before you can be certain it's only a certain male fertilizing the eggs

But it would be pure lavender or Olive egger mix but it lays white/cream eggs

and looks like neither

and i waited a week

That's not long enough.

This is true...

It's mother could be an olive egger? Theres a chance that even because it's parent is an OE that they don't lay an colored egg, and that could explain the color!
