Oriental Gamefowl Thread!

Saladin, how would he go as an Asil bantam cockerel. He is 6 months old.

Here are a little better pictures of my Kos. They are just terrified of the camera.

You'll find they change a lot as they age.

These pics can help you see how much they change as they mature. Compare to pics I posted of old bird.

I have been trying to sell some of my extra fowl to make room for the Ko Shamo and other bantams I am going to raise. I have sold all my large Asil except one cockerel. Found out he has the start of bumble foot. Looks like I will be doing foot surgery on him to try and get him cured from it. I have him sold after I get him healed from it. I am going to only raise oriental bantams from now on. They are cheaper to feed than large fowl. I am pretty much medically retired from work now and keeping chickens gives me something to do. I have raised them off and on for over 30 years. I was very pleased to find the Ko Shamos. They are hard to find and since I can't drive anymore was very pleased that I had them shipped here. Gallorojo, those are some very nice birds. I am looking forward to see how mine turn out as they age.

Those are some nice birds. Mine just don't have that upright stance as these do.

Hi McCrooke,
Sorry to hear you getting out of the large fowl; however, I understood your reason. For me I fell in love with the large Orientals (ganoi, thai, asil) since I was young and .. I stay with them through time. I am in mid 50s and getting married this x-mas .. so you will stay young as long as you feel. Someday if you want to get back to the large fowl, let me know, and I will send you some stocks to rebuild.

Best Regards - Hung

PS: I hope that feeding and watering them daily will keep us healthy forever

Did anyone ever use one hen, three roosters? Like one rooster a day until she's done laying? What are the result? Thanks
