Help me identify my 'so called Black Shamos'

[James head]

I really don't know. I thought, he has too much hackle feathers and fluff around the rear. I was hoping that I have 35 Satsumdori pullets and cockerels coming along, but I would not ever be that lucky. They have the wrong leg color(slate) to be O Shamos, I never have seen a Chu Shamo, also they have dark eyes. All the answers I need is in Japan, lock away from the world.

Hatchery Thai crossed down to about1/4 will look like that.

Cross with American Game? Tell me what you think, TomNY. J

Not a good representation of shamo

 

[James head]

Not good, for sure!

Crossed with any black chicken.

Ideal Poultry will NOT message or call me back on what they have in their breeding pen that they sell as Black Shamos, but you see what I got. You can bet I will never buy from them again. I am really disgusted with them.

Hi, your bird getting multiple spurs? looks like a possible Sumatra

Hatchery Shamo. With hatchery birds it is hit and miss, but you're rarely going to get good representatives of the Standard from them. It's still an attractive bird.
