Does anyone know what breed(s) this rooster might be?

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.

Yes, I’m sure and she was the only girl laying at the time

Thank u!

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

He could be a speckled sussex mix, but the white you’re seeing isn’t from the SS’s mottling, it’s from the silver gene (probably from the other half of the cross)

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.

What do you mean by a “dominant SS gene”? Speckled sussexes have many different genes contributing to their pattern, but they aren’t breed-specific

If I had to guess, I would say speckled Sussex crossed with a splash laced red Wyandotte.

He’s not splash, if he was splash, his sons would have the blue gene, but they don’t. It’s possible that he’s a very dark blue.

Thank you for correcting me on that, I forgot to take into consideration the sons.
