Yep, that second last photo looks best of him. Lower tail, more straight line from legs, breast, on through neck.

If you want to get the gray color going in your birds but have no grays around your best bet is to get some pure blacks. Now, I don't know the chances with Shamos, but in most other breeds, pure solid black and/or blue almost always carry the silver gene, what makes grays, and crossing it into whatever desired color once, then working it from there on helps. Black hen x other color cock = black hens, black cocks w/gray (silver and red) leakage Take that offspring male and breed him to more "other color" birds and you'll continue to get the gray/silver color going.

Assuming you mean gray as in golden or silver wheaten/duckwing.
 
Heres someone alot of you know...Tara at the NE Oklahoma All Bantam Show, in Pryor, OK......she brought out a good showing of Shamo and Asil...here are the BB asil and BB Shamo
 
My first Asil stag


What do you all think? Please be honest. They are reza size and around 5 months old. Their eyes are pretty orange. I was told they will whiten up as they get a little older. Is this true? Any help/advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Blaine

Congrates tara, good looking fowl. Where there lots of bantam asils shown? I am getting several hatched, hope to have some to show next fall.

Hello Sharon, he looks very well kept and I see some of the girls having a dust bath at his side. Any ideas on what his weight is, looks very nice and tall. Must say I wish his tail was a little more south bound but good news is I have seen improvement in the F2 and F3 generations. Glad to know you are happy with him, this next year he should start to come into his own.

Ish, He is about 7 1/2 pounds. I tried to get a height...near 25 inches but he was not liking to be inside so it is hard to be exact. His hen hatched those two madagascar chicks....what I was told they were but one is fully feathered, so.....Anyhow, she is such a good mom. Thanks again Ish for such great birds. THey bring me much joy.

Sharon, I wouldn't be majorly concerned about one of your Malgache chicks being fully feathered. Sometimes they are, just like Ga Noi........Pop
 





A couple pics of my Silver cock.
