Golden comet rooster? Or?

[cottontail farm]

A friend was getting rid of her birds and gave me this 3 year old rooster. He's gentle and handsome. She got him from an amish feed store and remembered that as a chick he was a different color than the girls. I think he's one of those hatchery hybrids, maybe a golden comet? Can anyone help? White legs, single comb (frostbite at some point) and the undersides of his wings are white. He is SO nice and gentle. Hens love him.

Crossbred. Not a Red Sexlink.

He's very handsome, maybe a gold sexlink with something with bars and poofiness.
hhmmm, maybe an amber star?

I really don't think he's crossbred in a backyard way as this place orders from large hatcheries like other sellers. But I'm not at all familiar with the hybrid "breeds" that hatcheries are putting out there.

golden comet mixed with rose comb breed like wyandotte

possibly dominique golden comet i see alot of stripes on his neck

Even hatcheries sell mixed breeds.

With that pattern, evidence of barring genes, and white legs he is undoubtedly a mixed breed.

Yes, there's a lot of hatcheries that cross random chickens and call them a breed.

He has a Maran head, neck and comb, maybe a maran + ?

Now I may be wrong as I am certainly no expert, but to my knowledge all hybrids have single, not rose or pea, combs. He looks like he has Wyandotte/Dominique or Barred Rock parentage at least, something with barred or cuckoo patterning. Any idea on weight? He is a good lookin feller, interesting colors.
