    Odd comb

    Is it normal for my hens comb to be this black, she is a shamo/American game mix. She is 27 weeks old and recently started laying at about 20 weeks month ago and suddenly just stopped about 5 days ago. I’m just trying to find out if it’s something I’m doing or if there’s something going on with...

Here in Puerto Rico gamefowl exhibition is a huge sport and there have been major changes to the rules which have shifted the ideal gamefowl previously sought after. In order to transition my...

    Feathers curling?

    My O Shamo rooster is going through his first molt, 5 to 6 months old, and some of the feathers are curled. Most are normal but if something is wrong I want to catch it right away. He is on a 17% all flock pellet feed. Pictures attached. Pics of full body so you see how most of his feathers look

    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...

    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...

    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?

    Still very young but does anyone know the sex?

    Only around 3 weeks old. Does anyone know any tricks or tips to help me know the sex of these two chicks? The eggs were a mix of shamo and Asil so not quite sure what I have either!

    Shamo and Asil breeders in texas

    I have 13 layer hens and would love to add a Shamo or Asil to the flock eventually. I've always wanted weird rare breeds and I love the Shamo look, the bird would be for show and pet only and it's chicks would be strictly show pet only. I've seen them at the shows with gorgeous birds and I know...

    Shamo chicks fighting in brooder

    Hi there, I am trying to find out as much information as I can to be prepared if needed. I understand that, even as chicks, shamos can be extremely aggressive even from day one, particularly the young cockerals. Others have said this may happen around 3 weeks, that they start to fight. How...

    Is this rooster an asil, shamo or Malay

    I recently took in my neighbors rooster, as he was moving and could not take it with him, but I am wondering what kind of rooster is this. I was told it is an asil but after doing more research I may believe it is a Malay as the tail seems to be too short. I’m not sure though since Malays are...
