Ugliest rooster contest! Ends 1/31/25

The ugliest rooster I ever had "Silver" When I got him, he was molting and had lice. He always looked like he was not wearing pants. He had a green egg gene.

I wanted gray eggs, so I took a guess and bred him to a pink egglayer.
After he bred with the hen I wanted him to, I got rid of him, because he was just gross. The song on the radio was "I am Silverman." I felt bad.
His genes created the prettiest bird I ever had. Who laid a gray egg.

Don't discount the ugly birds.
 
Rooster
Leghorn / ayam cemani cross

This is how he looked the last 6 months of his life, he would get sickly and barely be able to stand to get to food and water and DH and I would say that he needed to be culled before trash day and as soon as we would say that he would make a miraculous recovery buying himself another couple weeks before starting to look sickly again. He would not preen his feathers during this slow deterioration so I had to constantly help him with that or he’d look like a hedgehog. He did lose the tips of his comb to frostbite one winter although the pale dusky comb was from whatever he had that eventually wore him down to when we could no longer hope for another recovery. He was glorious in his heyday though!(second picture)
