O-Shamo

Recently, I'm starting to get much interest on this type of large gamefowl: O-shamo.  Similar to other type of large gamefowl such as Asil, Malay, Ga Noi, Thai, Brazilian, etc... O-shamo is one of the heaviest and tallest oriental gamefowl.  A cock can stand 30+in and weight 10+ lbs.  I should have some eggs in the incubator soon.  Can't wait to hatch some of these :)
Some info regarding about this type of breed:

Year end update

2011 is almost end and it was another sucessful year, but not without some failure. Toward the end of the year, with some personal issues, i did not have much time to take care of the birds as i normally would so i had to reduce my bird collection to only 2 pair of shama and few doves. I do not know i can have much time in the up coming new year to take care and breeding shama as before, but i am sure still involve in keeping and breeding them. Wake up early in the morning everyday and listen to their song relax me. To all shama fans around the world: wish you have a wonderful Christmas and great new year! A very sucessful breeding year with lots of very nice shama's babies! P.s. there is a new forum for all the shama lover out there. Please join the forum if you can to learn and share your experiences in shama keeping. The website address is www.shamaclubsingapore.lefora.com Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Not one, or two, but three Troupial chicks!
