There are 3 types of Shamo: O-Shamo (largest), Chu-Shamo (medium), and Ko-Shamo (smallest). I have O-Shamo hens and an O-Shamo rooster. They are a lot of work because of their special housing needs, and because they are aggressive. I had one very aggressive hen that would attack me and other...
Hi Everyone! I am looking for someone who would be willing to sell 1-2 green eggs, and 1-2 blue eggs to me for a class demonstration on egg shell color vs. egg coat color. It's a little last minute since the class is tomorrow, so I'd probably have to pick them up today. I am located in the...
I looked into crooked neck and it doesn't look like she has symptoms - her neck seems pretty straight. Is there anything else I should look for? I tried putting vitamins in her water (vitamin supplement from tractor supply), but it didn't seem to do anything. However, I can try providing...
Hi Everyone,
I have a 5 mo old hen who was born with a crooked head. At about 1 mo old, she developed bubbly/watery eyes, but no other symptoms (and eyes are not swollen). I've tried everything to figure out what she has. I originally thought respiratory disease, so I treated with Tylan50...

I have a cockerel and pullet O-Shamo from Jim Zook - they both look great so far. I don't plan on showing anytime soon, but at some point I'm interested in preserving the breed. Do you know whether it's illegal to import from Japan because of disease concerns, or because cockfighting is...
Hi everyone,
I would like to know whether Ideal Poultry's Shamo chickens are O-Shamo, Chu-Shamo, or Ko-Shamo. I called customer service and they didn't know what I was talking about - I asked whether there was anyone there who might know, but she said no. Does anyone know?
Thank you!!
Hi Everyone,
I am asking for help because my 1.5 month old female O-Shamo has been sick for weeks and I can't seem to figure out what it is let alone fix it. She has been isolated since symptoms started. The pictures don't show it well, but she has a glossy film over her eye (not her inner...
