Rooster with Unique Comb- What Breed is He?

[GlicksChicks]

Someone is going to be giving me this rooster because they have too many. They sent pictures of him and said they didn't know the breed. She says she thinks he is a mix, which is very likely.

Does anyone know what mix he is, or even just the breed that gave him that unique comb? And what is the comb type?

He definitely has some Polish ancestry. You can tell by the strange comb, the light build, and the small but long crest feathers.

He seems to somewhat have the head crest like some of the Crevouceur chickens I have seen pictures of.

That is cool though!

It's a possibility, but Polish are a lot more common than Crevecouers, so I think it's less likely. It's definitely a mix, either way.

Do polish have combs like that? It is so hard to see the combs of polish chickens

No. Neither Polish nor Crevecouers have combs like the bird in the picture. They both have the 'v' comb. It looks like little horns. But when you cross a breed with a v comb with a single combed chicken, you often get a comb that looks like the comb your guy has.

I would guess Olive Egger to be in the mix... not sure what else. His stance looks kinda Bantamish to me.
