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

I'll get some updated photos today. My sister even says the chick looks gamey/sporty, to be just an EE. The chick is now 6 weeks 4 days old.

She could easily be a game/EE cross. It wouldn’t be much of a surprise - in fact, it would explain a lot. The hope is that she would still lay pretty eggs! She would be stunning if she were such a cross.

Yeah, her muffs are coming in all puffy. Since the chick came out of a light brown egg, will it lay light brown, or green?

Why do you say this?
Also what would it explain.
The seller of the eggs has a mixed flock of many standard breeds.
Most people that keep a mixed flock of many different breeds usually don't keep games in the mix.
This chick surely isn't a game since it wouldn't be possible to keep game roosters in such a set up.
A game mix? Maybe but IMO not only would it be a surprise it would be a shock.
I know the OP isn't really interested in hearing what it is because they seem to have made up there mind not matter what anyone says but if they did want real opinions they could easily post on the game fowl thread. There's members there that have had them for decades and would easily recognise if it was or wasn't.

I’m not too sure, unfortunately. It’s a waiting game at best.

It would explain why OP may be leaning so strongly towards it being a game. Personally, I think it looks like an EE, but there’s no way to tell until it’s an adult. I could imagine that it’s possible that the seller could have a few gamey hens in the flock, though there weren’t any listed. It was simply a comment.

The "why" is the million dollar question.
There's nothing physically pointing this bird as being a muffed game fowl and certainly nothing from the info the egg seller has given that would point to it.
There's been more then this thread asking about this chick with many members doubting it is and as far as I remember none believing it is.
It is unsure why the OP continues to believe it is but I believe they will continue to no matter what. IDK but it seems odd.

Wasn't able to get pics today, I'll be sure to do so tomorrow.

You sound so negative. There's been people on here who tried to get their Muffed Games identified on BYC who were told their chicks are Easter Eggers, because apparently not a whole lot of people have seen, or heard about them. There's not a whole lot of info on them either, I know cuz I searched, and searched quite a bit.

Muffed games can be mistaken for EEs.

Can you link an example?

Not negative just a realist.

Exactly why the odds of yours being even a mix of one is next to none.
Also the reason it makes no sense that that's the conclusion that you would jump to.
