When the picture was first posted all the details were there. Who used the picture in the featured thread with no credit or details? Very inconsiderate.

The pictures the OP used in that thread were not their own. The posts clearly go on to read that they only have one of the breed.

I ran the picture in question through a Google image search and found that it originated in this post from 2010. The owner said she was a Shamo. And also that that was a rat, not a mouse.

While I have been raising poultry for over 40 years I am new to the Shamo and certainly don't have all the answers. I will say that to me, it is one of the coolest chickens I have every raised......and I have raised over 50 breeds/varieties. They are very noble birds......also somewhat primitive in my opinion.

Here is a pic of a Shamo hen and that is not a mouse. That is a rat she has in her beak. The hen is much larger than she looks here. Who needs a cat when you have Shamo's.

Never seen a jersey giant that looks anything like the one posted in that article. . .

I've never seen any chicken look quite like that...very strange photo they chose, of the wrong breed!

I don't know what kind of chicken is in that thread. I do know that I have several different breeds of chickens that will hunt down and fight over a mouse that another chicken caught. The turkeys are even more aggressive in catching them.
