Hi everyone

[BetsyannOK]

My name is Betsy and we live in Oklahoma. My husband and I are having a lot of fun raising O Shamos, which are beautiful, large game fowl from Japan. I have had chickens my whole adult life, and showed Sebrights for years. My daughters showed Modern Game bantams and Belgian D'Anvers among others. Our goal with the Shamos is to have a flock of quality birds and to enjoy them! We are still learning about this breed, so any suggestions from experienced game fowl people is most welcome.

Welcome to BYC - I'm glad you found us!

I have a good friend who raises Shamo, I don't think hers are "O" though. Beautiful, beautiful birds!

Welcome to BYC!

Very nice breed of chicken! I don't keep them, but here is a link to a Shamo thread you might care to join in on...

Great to have you aboard and enjoy your flock!

Good luck with your poultry raising adventures,and I hope you find everything you need to know. Don't forget to take a look at BYC's very useful learning center (If you haven't already)! The learning center as well as the forum should answer your questions! Glad to have you here!

Thank you all so much. It is so delightful to see how many other chicken obsessed people are out there. That shamo thread is great. There appear to be lots of people to learn from here.
