Is he pretty? Or ugly? Please help us decide!

That only applies to self-blue (aka lavender). Not "andalusian blue". One parent is probably actually a very very dark blue that is so dark it looks black.

I think he is great

The opinion is up to you.

In crossbreeds/mutts, it doesn't really matter except to the owner. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Otherwise if he were purebred, sure, there is a "ruling" on pretty vs ugly in terms of the SOP, but that's about it. . . Otherwise it is up to you. Personally I'm not a bantam fan or a fan of F1 Silkie crosses, but that's my opinion.

I Really do think hes petty, I love the name too. I would buy a rooster that looks like that, But people have different tastes in looks, and like Illia said "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

Illia, check out my F1 silkie cross. Still not a fan?

 

[Illia]

Sorry, nope. I mean, she's kinda cute, but she looks to have those legs like a Sultan has (short, acutely angled, almost cow hocked) and otherwise looks like most F1 Silkie crosses. I'm sorry if that sounded rude though. I'm sure she's a darling girl and very beloved, and I'm sure if I had her I'd love her just as much, but I'm not a "fan" of the cross.

Actually she is for sale and should be going to a new home sunday. However, she is darn cute. I wasn't a fan of silkie f1s before either. The half top knot always looked funny. But in person, this chicken is so pretty and hilarious at the same time.
