unknown rooster

would say buff lace polish being involved is a great guess. it would nicely explain the dominant white and weak traces of lacing he has. not sure about being cross as the crest is very small even for a cross plus the comb seems unaffected by polish duplex comb plus his legs are yellow(which is a recessive gene- polish have white skin) so mix rather than cross. as in second generation from a cross.

that tail... so short and so squirrel(leans forward over the back) is a puzzler- what breed has that. The hen is probably related to him as they share the tail appearence. I wanted to suggest EE- great for pea comb source but that won't quite work.
 
actually i remember my rooster i had it was a ee looked just like this but he had a beard and his tail was a little straighter .... and his neck up by his head was a little colored

The hen is not related. Different years different sources. Got him from a small hobby farmer several hours away and got her from one nearby. Chances of relation are slim. Chances of having similar breeds is better. I would agree with a mix. The hobby farmer I got him from was incubating crosses and he was one of them. Nothing Polish looking that I saw though.
I do know that he's pretty.. beyond that...
