Ko-shamo

It's been a while since I update this blog. Lots of thing change this year.
*Shama breeding project has to be put on hold for now with no end date in near future.
*O-shamo gamefowl breeding project also has to put on hold indefinitely.
*For the serama, I'm starting with new blood line from Jerry Schexnayder. He is the "father" of all serama in the US. http://www.scnaonline.org/
*New project: Another miniature fowl that I recently acquire is the pair of Ko-shamo. This will be an interesting project as these fowl are not widely keep in poultry community. Ko-shamo is somewhat ancient breed that hold true characteristic of what a gamefowl should be but in miniature form. In short, I love them! I took these pics of the pair right after they arrive to my place. They are very active, alert, look great, and show lots of potential to be a show worthy.

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:
