the3ofus+oursixchicks : Quote: Ok, you asked for it FF, here he is, the Grand Champion himself! http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff81/CUDALAND/Kelso-Copy2.jpg why do you have something tied around his legs? It's a makeshift hitch to keep the bird from going too far in the event that he...

Quote: Good luck in your search for hatching eggs this late in the year.

Centrarchid, My concern is the lack of planning behind the statement of someone looking for "good free-ranging" fowl. They likely do not realize the quantities required and preparations involved in keeping such a flock. I highly doubt you could just turn them loose (effectively becoming...

Centrarchid, What are the numbers you breed for in your free range fowl? Do they propogate themselves or are you gathering & hatching eggs, then brooding the young for release?

Quote: A strain of what? of game bird. Still rather vague. If you want something that can run around in your yard, evade predators, and rear young... You're really asking the impossible. I have game hens and non-game hens alike that once they go broody out on the yard, it's a death...

Quote: check this link. it basically says that the ko shamo were created from the o-shamo to be kept in a smaller space. https://www.backyardchickens.com/wiki/index.php?title=Ko_Shamohttps://www.backyardchickens.com/wiki/index.php?title=Ko_Shamo Basically, it does not say o-shamo were used...

Quote: No.. Ko Shamo are true breeding small shamo from Japan. Bantam shamo were created in US by breeding down in size from existing Shamo stock. so basically a bantam shamo is 'not a game bird' but a 'show bird' created in the US from the shamo and the ko shamo is a small shamo which is a...

Quote: I'm bored today, so I've been haunting the forum.

Quote: aren't ko shamo and bantam shamo the same? i read description for shamos and their exists three types that differentiated by size, o-shamo, chu-shamo, and ko shamo. the ko shamo are the bantam size of all three types. and the chu shamos don't get over 4kg in weight while the o-shamo...

Quote: Pearl Eye and Pea Comb

Excellent comparison, DT! I'm over that pair you found on ganoi.com!

Illia, I like the F2 cockerel and the F3 black hens... those other two hens look too bulky, more like broilers or cornish.

Quote: Hey Cuban Longtails, thanks for the tip! I went on Ebay & bought 20 White Sonotol Asil eggs from FlyinFrizzle. Hopefully they are offspring of the birds in the pictures he had posted. Looked very nice. You're welcome! Good luck on the incubation & hatch!

Experience! when you've raised a breed of fowl for awhile, you get real familiar with the characteristics for visual sexing.

FlyingFrizzle has white asils. He sells on ebay sometimes. I don't believe he's a member of BYC, but I've seen where he has posted photos of his birds on gamefowl forums.

Nice to see real Hulseys instead of those Greenfire lawn ornaments!

Nice fowl, deerman!

Quote: illia, did you notice some of those Thai have feathered shanks? Guys, I think I am missing something. I don't see feathered shanks I see half black half white legs though We are talking about the Thai, not your Shamo.

Quote: Can't wait to see them. Thais from Ideal? This I gotta see when they grow to at least 7 months old.. illia, did you notice some of those Thai have feathered shanks?
