Any ideas on the breed of my rooster?

Hello there! We inherited this rooster from the prior owners when we moved here a year ago and I have been going CRAZY trying to figure out what breed he might be and now I might possibly have some pullets from him which has only driven my curiosity wild more. He has a very interesting comb that I have a hard time finding other examples of. My best guess is that it would be a “rose comb” but it still looks a bit different than a lot of the rose combs I find in researching. He very well could be a hybrid of some sort for all I know, but it could possibly also just be a genetic mutation possibly from my understanding? He is not a bantam but the closest looking breeds I have found are bantams while he is in fact quite a large fella. He also does not have feathered feet.

perhaps a silver laced Wyandotte cross.

He's definitely a mix. I'm thinking silver laced Wyandotte maybe mixed with some kind of game breed like Shamo, since he has a very upright posture. But difficult to know for sure. I'm guessing he's not a direct cross of purebred parents but a mix of parents that were themselves mixed.
