    Adult Shamo Cockerel Wants Me Dead. Help.

    Hi All! Please help... I have kept Shamo (/O Shamo) for some time and have always raised my stags from chicks so, although they can be pushy at times, they have never been 'dangerous' to people. However, last weekend I rehomed an adult Shamo stag which had found its way into the RSPCA and...
