Yes and he is still here in the house, above him is the trio of NN bantams we brought home from Shawnee. I just love listening to him crow first thing but belive it or not the little NN has more volume then he does.
I love the various different crows, too. The Faverolles boy I lost had a deep crow that actually sounded really nice. I'm hoping my Cochin boys will sound that way. My Brazilian (hate calling them 'Oriental', Asian sounds much less demeaning) doesn't have a very manly crow yet but he's still just a baby.
I'd still dearly love to find a Shamo next year, even Bantam Shamo. Some of those guys want hundreds of dollars each for their birds which is nuts for someone like me that doesn't breed! I can see spending that kind of money if you're going to get into serious breeding, but not everyone even *wants to get into serious breeding. My chickens are an enjoyable hobby and pets I care about. I'll put that money towards building more pens and find a cheaper bird to love. I guess I'm going to have to hit some auctions, aren't I? It's a tough job but someone's got to do it lol
Give me a call, i can so help you get started on bantam shamos.
