Can I do just 1 shamo hen?

This breaks my heart 💔, he is a huge sweetheart usually, he’s been my baby since I found him. But scares me too with his random attacking, but it’s like he doesn’t recognize who or what he’s attacking when he does it. I can’t give up on him. I’ll keep him away from my kids. I will rehome him if...

So when he attacks I can’t do anything? Like someone said to gently pin him until he’s calmed down in another thread. Basically showing dominance. Being careful of their fragile breast plate. Or will that make him worse? Is there a chance this gets better once he’s past this teenage time? Sorry...

How can I correct his attacking or posturing? My son (special needs 9 year old) loves him and they have always been around each other, but he did attack his pant leg a few days ago, had hold of it with his beak and was kicking with his legs. I got him gently to the ground and held him there...

that makes me so sad, what can I do?

The vet said he had imprinted when he was a few weeks old and I took him in for the stitches on his head, what would that mean with his behavior?

He will also attack random things that he seems to think are roosters? Like my sons sand box digger, he will jump attacking it with his feet, etc

He was sun basking in the pic. When he attacks he bites with his beak and depending on how serious he is he holds on and kicks his feet. He’s never held on to skin only clothes and only a few times. I don’t know about a lady friend or not for him

Please help, I have a 5 to 6 month old O shamo rooster who is being aggressive off and on. He seems scared and on defense, and attacks. He is having his first molt, plus the weather change, and I am making a new outdoor area for him. I don’t know if any of these are contributing to his extra...

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

I have an O shamo rooster and regular chicken coops do not look ideal for him. They all seem too short/small. Can someone please help me with what size would be best? A link to buy or make one would be amazing. He is 5 to 6 months old and free roams, comes inside at night

I have an O shamo rooster that I found in my yard as a tiny injured chic that fit in my hand (check my other posts for more info). He’s now 5 to 6 months old and molting, is this normal?

Lolllll yes so funny!!! Thought it was a regular chicken. I am so attached to him and he is so attached to me. I love our relationship. He’s already stopped attacking my feet as much so that’s a good step. Do I get him a normal hen? Or does it have to be shamo? I also need permanent housing...

His head just got worse as you see, until I brought him in and got it stitched. So worth it. The red was medicine not blood

Thank you for all your help! This was the first week. Omg I miss him being little lol
