Hi everyone! This is my 2 year old rooster, Tucker. I hatched him from some eggs I bought off Amazon, it said they were mixed breed, but I was wondering if he might be a SS mix? His chicks have all looked like pure SS when they hatched

Tucker has some features that resemble a Speckled Sussex (SS) mix, especially his body shape, feather patterning, and white speckling. However, his black tail and more defined golden hackles suggest he has some other genetics in the mix, possibly from a gamebird or Easter Egger-type breed.

If his chicks are hatching with strong Speckled Sussex traits, he might carry a dominant SS gene, or the hens he’s breeding with are also contributing to that look. I am not a breed expert, but this is what I think.
 
This is a very interesting bird. And you're sure of the daughter's mother's breed/which hen the egg was from?
I agree, he's got some Splash coloration going on there, which is why his daughter is Blue laced.
Very handsome bird with a fascinating pattern.
