The do CH and RES for old and rare categories. It was mentioned at the meeting these categories might be revised or split up more. SPPA has been around since 1965 it’s a great organization that needs a little modernization I think to draw some new members as well. Here is a list of awards...

This is my friend Katti’s bird. She also had Ko Shamo, Sumatra, and bantam cubalaya in the show 😁

Had a great weekend with my Shamos at the Ohio National Show. This fella was best of breed and Champion Old Breed from the Society for the Preservation of Poultry Antiquities.

Hey everyone! I just wanted to post that I do have the beginnings of the Gamefowl Conservation Network website up and running. If you have pictures or ideas to contribute please email me or use the form on the website. I am excited to start adding some content from outside sources to make...

This is GREAT! What a special piece of art and a great memory I have of meeting you at the show as well. I will treasure this! I am building out a website all about oriental gamefowl that will have everything from breed resources, historical documents, and art! I would love to keep this to...

Yes! That’s them! Wow small world. I would love to see what you end up drawing, let me know if you want any other references. I’m in the process of building a gamefowl network website and would really love to have some artists featured there too. I only show the 3, my at home trio I don’t...

It’s been a while since I’ve posted my Shamos. What’s everyone think of the dinos?

So the SOP literally says for dark Shamo “this variety is essentially the same color as the dark Cornish although somewhat more variation is often experienced, and the ground color of the female is of a slightly lighter shade” Maybe you can help!

Anyone willing to talk a little color genetics with me? Particularly those breeding to the SOP or working with standard colors? 2 of my young shamo stags (about 10 weeks old) have black hackles. According to the SOP this neither fits into the wheaten or the BBR categories and falls in the...

Does anyone here keep orientals up North? Curious what everyone does for the winter season for pens and what the pros and cons have been. Picture of my newest Shamos 😊

Not pure asil but still wanted to share how they are coming along.

I could see this. Seems like a sill pursuit to take away the very spark inside these birds. I’d certainly never choose that path to take the game out. However, at least in the northern Midwest, there’s nobody showing any oriental games, the oriental game fanciers association dissolved, and I...

I think this summarizes why I even think twice about the SOP. My daughter enjoys showing and it's something we can do together. We are homesteaders, homeschoolers, and have no neighbors. Chicken people are our community. Short of inviting people to my property which I'm very unlikely to ever...

Thank you! This makes very good sense. I think I need to come to terms that the birds that got me interested may very well not become breeding stock. The SOP has a term in the shape description that is foreign to me and not a part of any of the descriptions of other oriental games...

Alrighty game gurus…I have remembered a couple more questions that have been rolling around waiting for the right people to ask. First, the standard calls for disqualification of Aseels with a tail carried about horizontal. Now this I can see for Shamo, their angle is quite different, but...

Thank you so much for such a detailed break down of just what some of the logic is behind the behaviors I have run into. It makes sense, perfect sense, that there is some secrecy...but after poking around for 6 months in some of these groups where everyone seemed to talk to each other but no...

@varidgerunner had posted a picture of an asil identical to mine which brought me here. Unfortunately they are no longer active.

Yes I am! Joined some groups but didn’t have much luck getting any direction. Any groups you’d recommend send me a message I’d love to jump in.

Well, trying to get my bearings amping experienced game fowl breeders is like trying to decode hieroglyphs. I’m very interested in working with a breed in need of preservation. My daughter and I also show for fun. Interested in breeding for sure, just don’t want to go down the path blind.
