Quote:
"Shamo" when used alone, it refers to a Japanese breed of game chicken. When this term is used with the word "O" or "Ko" then it's also referred to a certain range of size of this breed.

I don't know about the States but it is often argued in Europe that Ko Shamo are in fact a completely different breed to Oshamo, and not a bantam form of the breed.

Thanks Ray C ,

That's exactly the same as my thinking on Ko Shamo . I've never owned any but heard from reliable sources that they are more a show breed rather than game bred .

My lil ko shamo. Almost 3 months.

O Shamo, large shamo 10-12 pounds. Chu Shamo, medium sized 6-8 pounds. Ko Shamo, the small ~2 pound shamo.
