My first generation Shamo / Thai cross cockerel. Hatched Jan, 2013.

Wow! He is a long legged bird!

Good luck with your project.

 

[Kadjain]

Thanks. With this breed the legs, body and neck should all be the same length: 1/3 neck, 1/3 body and 1/3 legs.

Really? I had no idea. Good to know if I go looking for some.

Correction, the 1/3 equal body part ratio is actually a breed standard of the Ko Shamo which is a true bantam Oriental Gamefowl, however it is the standard I like to breed for in my birds too.

How did he turn out?

LOL I ate him.
But here are some others I have bred since .. .





The first birds I was working w were very skittish and no good. But I have bred what I think are better birds and got some really nice outcross cocks and soon to trade for some nice Brazilian hens.
I am trading this cock for two Brazil hens. I like this cock a lot and will miss him, he is so friendly but he is no good for my program anymore and someone else wants to ad that color to their program.

Sweet how many months is the duckwing? He looks young. Def my favorite color on birds.

He is 10-11 months. Yeah I think it is a cool color too. I had a cockerel that was real light grey w duckwing but he died, I was bummed .. .
