    Need help planning blue barred/cuckoo genetics

    I’m a total rookie so please correct me where I’m wrong. So the idea is: • Male barred + female blue = female blue bar • Female barred + male blue = male blue bar • female and male blue bar = homogynous My bird of choice is the ko shamo. I know of a breeder that sells blue wheaten’s, but then...

    Please discuss international shipping/travel with me

    I’m deeply interested in the idea of obtaining Japanese bantam breeds. When comparing ko shamo or yamato gunkei in America vs. Japan: the difference is huge. Japanese breeders have versions of these birds that are more stout (instead of the odd length I’ve seen here) and have more wrinkles in...

    Ko Shamo breeders?

    I’ve been trying to make an account with Japan Yahoo Auction, but it’s not taking my phone number. I don’t mind shipping a live bird from there if I have to. Does anyone know of any KO breeders?

    Photos of byc’s rescue baby

    A little while back I made a post on here for a hatching chick. Thank you you guys, it’s alive and very well. I’m not sure of the gender since the color sex link shows up later on, but I refer to it as a “him” for simplicity’s sake. So this is your guys’ rescue baby! (Don’t worry, I changed it...

    Are sex linked traits strict for sexing?

    I’m having some trouble finding information on shamo / ko shamo sex linked traits. If the breeder hadn’t mentioned their color as an indicator, I wouldn’t have figured it out. But I was wondering if sexing by other sex linked traits would not work; like feather sexing. If I tried sexing this...

    What’s the significance of egg size?

    I have Ko Shamo and Old English bantam in the incubator right now. The Ko Shamo eggs are larger than the bantam eggs, but they’ve both been incubating together at the same time. Though I see that since the bantam eggs are smaller, that they’re taking up more space in their eggs. The Ko Shamos...

    Ko Shamo bantam and update photos

    I love going to my uncle’s farm. He’s got a plethora of chicken breeds that rotates every time I visit. He has a lot of connections through his past chicken fighting days. It lets him give away / sell and buy a bunch of unique breeds. Since he was a teenager (50 now), he had been genetically...

    Would my Ko Shamo Rooster be able to mate with a O Shamo hen?

    My Ko Shamo pullet passed recently and my cockerel is distraught about it. I’ve been looking all over for a Ko female but to no luck. I really want to get him a mate but so far I can only find O Shamos. Would the O Shamo females be too large for my cockerel?
