I’m confused, that’s a picture off the internet? I’m talking about the chick your neighbor hatched which is supposedly a buff Orpington x polish.

I know it is a pic off the internet, it looks exactly like that but bigger and more black

With the buff color? Silver polish rooster crossed with buff Orpington hen would not be able to produce a buff chick. The silver (white) of the polish would go to all his offspring. So it’s genetically impossible for that chick (if it’s really buff) to come from the polish.

Why do you think the hen in the first post lays white eggs? Did you see her lay one?

I know its odd....

Yes i did! I have her offspring too. She produced a brown 2 black a blue and 2 chipmunk looking chicks. (Crossed with Olive Egger) She lays white/cream eggs

And you’re sure the chick hatched from a brown egg and not a cream one?

Yes it did! I only gave her brown eggs! And the chicken that lays cream/white eggs hatched out of a light brown egg too!

So that rules out the lavender/buff orp.

The pure buff Orpington is the only one you have that lays brown, right?

No the lavender lays light brown too

Ok, here’s my guess. Would you say the chick has legs like a black australorp?

It has blue legs

Yes. The picture you posted earlier is a black australorp x buff Orpington. She doesn’t have slate legs, her legs are just darkened by the black from the australorp. I was wondering if the chick has the same leg color as the picture from the internet.
