Peep daddy, I don't know where your Shamo originated from so I am speak more about what I have seen of my JK line, via Mrs. Chung, Shamo. Many don't want to hear it but, IMO shared by other Shamo breeders, not all Shamo are a like or Shamo.
With Shamo, and most Orientals, many folks look for matching beak and leg color. So if your legs are yellow thus the beaks should be. Horn Color I think related to the brown or dark staining found on the beak. Leg wise no other colors are acceptable as it would show intrusion of foreign blood. The beaks of Shamo do not look like finches, less you are thinking of a softbill i have not seen as indeed there are many. I raised many soft bills from Gouldians, Cuban to Canaries. Indeed the beaks are broad, wide, rounded and should have a good downward curve to them. They are exceptionally strong billed birds I have seen fewer with a beak of the same mass. Except, with some of the larger Ganio.
Mrs. Chungs line of Shamo do change dramatically over the 2yrs. They even continue to change as they mature.
