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

Well Marans eggs are dark brown and green eggs would be EE so they wouldn’t need to be labeled...I wonder why the brown egg was labeled polish, polish eggs are white unless it was to indicate that the rooster in the breeding pen was polish but this chick doesn’t look part polish.
 
The seller promised both purebreds, and crosses in the description. My mystery chick looks like a pullet, and my dad named her Muffey.

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.
Can you provide a link to the actual listing?

From a little investigation into your posts of the breeds the seller is offering - I'm "assuming" it was probably this seller. There is nothing in their description(s) that guarantees "purebreeds" except for their individual listings for Marans and Wyandottes.

The fact that she/he said they would label eggs if they remembered or recognized who/what they came from tells you right there, they are not breeding all those birds separately - "barnyard mix" is what you have.

The chick is very cute - enjoy him/her and carry on :)

I know. Polish doesn't make sense for the chick that hatch from the light brown egg.

Hat's off to Sherlock! Nice sleuthing. :bow
Yeah, that ad makes it clear that you're getting MIXES from a large, assorted flock. That was nice of them to try and label but I don't see any reason to expect purebred, game breeds, or even accurate labeling.

I took a screenshot of the full list, from the EBay app. I only screenshoted the list, I didn't screen shot the description.

The seller changed the description, it doesn't say it anymore. I took a screenshot anyways.
