Is this a Muffed Gamefowl? I would really like to get the answer.

[baby-blue]

I have a feeling that they wouldn’t not include a muffed Gamefowl in the list if they had them - even if simply because of temperament differences between Games and ‘normal’ chickens. I’d like to be aware of the possibility of a Game if I were to order eggs, and I doubt I’d be the only one to feel that way. No offense intended, but the seller doesn’t seem entirely reputable. From what you’ve posted, not only have more than a few of the eggs been incorrectly marked, but their reliability seems iffy. I wouldn’t doubt that most of their chickens are just barnyard crosses, regardless of the list. Again, no offense intended. That chick is almost definitely an EE, but who knows? Maybe it’ll suddenly start to look more and more like some other breed. That’s half the fun with mystery chicks.


My own little EE, Matilda!

The seller promised both purebreds, and crosses in the description. My mystery chick looks like a pullet, and my dad named her Muffey.

I've seen lots of pictures of them with orange, brown, and yellow eyes, my chick looks like it may have blueish, or green eyes maybe. Is that possible with EEs?

Chicks are born with blue eyes that change to green, then to orange, brown, and yellow.

I know, I was just saying what it's eyes might look like since they're changing to look like the eye color may have a greenish, or blue tint within.

Clearly the seller has failed to adequately explain the very slim odds of getting purebred chicks from an assortment running together. With a list the length of that one, it's infinitesimal.

You might believe they have some chickens set up in breeding pens but I don't. The "Polish" egg is a big clue. And, if they had something rare separated in a breeding pen, they'd be selling those eggs in a breed-specific listing for more $.

Buying things on eBay can be fun but it's also a good place to exercise your critical thinking skills.

I asked the seller to label the eggs for me when I order. She/He said that she/he will label what eggs are remembered, or reconized. Some were guessed on, the Maran eggs were labled correctly, so was the Easter Egger egg. I had some Olive Egger eggs, but they were all quitters.

Pretty chick no matter what it turns out to be.
I don't know how much you paid or how many you ended up with but just some advice from an old lady when you see a seller with a list of breeds as long as your seller has...run.
Nothing comes from something like that except confusion, and if you're a ponderer like myself you start thinking about living conditions on so many breeds in one place too.

I ordered 2 dozen which costed me $72.00. The shipping was free.

 

[Chickassan]

Ohh, ok that is a little steep especially for Ebay.
I sell Faverolles eggs for 30 a dozen with free shipping but that is all I offer. I have seen people charge way more though, guess it depends on both parties. I don't feel right charging so much for eggs, too many variables.

It was $36.00 for 14 eggs, I placed an order for quantity of 2 which costed $72.00. I double up on my orders for barnyard mixes so I have a better chance at hatching chicks.
