Ko Shamo Thread!

[mcrooke45]

It has been suggested that we start a new thread for the Ko Shamo. There were some threads in the past that did not go to far. There are a lot more of us out there now that is raising this neat little bird. I myself am new to these birds but I have raised chickens off and on for over 30 years. I have had many breeds over the years but I find the Ko Shamo very amusing with the upright stance and the way they strut around. There are many of us now on the Oriental Thread that raise the Ko Shamo and now we have a new place discuss these great little birds. Maybe we can keep this thread going for a while.

Here are some new pics of my Blue Wheaten Ko Shamo. At least he will pose for me. My other 2 cockerels are scared of the camera.

Cocky little stag! He looks nice.

This is a 2 yr old white ko I got this past weekend at a show. I need to take some pics of my other kos.

Hey guys was looking for some opinions on these two. Likes and dislikes

Just put 3 eggs from my Ko Shamo Pullet in the incubator. She laid 3 eggs and quit. I have been waiting on the 4th but gave up. My Blue Ko Shamo cockerel did not do so well the first real hard temperature drop here so I brought him and the pullet inside for the winter. The other ones are doing fine with the cold. It got down to 22* here and the comb on the blue Ko Shamo cockerel turned purple like it was frost bit and he was not doing so well. He perked right up after I brought him inside. He is a smart little bird. He lets me know if he is low on water or food. He will see me and go and peck on top of the water container or the food hanger to let me know he needs some more. He will jump up on his perch so he can see me eating at the table and he will do a little dance so I will give him some scraps. He acts just like a dog. He is a smart bird. He does NOT like to be petted though. He gets very defencive when you put your arm in his pen. I named him Takeshi, a Japanese name meaning fierce, violent, warrior. The name suits him to a tea. He is a large game fowl at heart in a small package.
