What breed is this Rooster

It looks like his cheeks are puffy. If so, I'd guess crossbreed, probably with a Salmon Faverolles.

I ordered chickens from Murray Mcmurray hatchery. They always send a surprise chick. This is the surprise chick. Coming from a well known hatchery I would think that they send only full blooded breeds

I would guess an off colored hatchery quality Salmon Faverolles.

Even 'well known hatcheries' sometimes provide birds with questionable DNA.

Yep. Hatchery quality Salmon Faverolle.

Hi, that's a Salmon Faverolle rooster. It's a rare breed, not a cross at all. https://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/salmon_faverolles.html

Salmon Faverolles have beards, muffs, feathered shanks and a fifth toe. That is not a cross.

All of those characteristics are dominant.
