Hmmm

Anyways yes those sumatras are black and white splash not mottled.
Mottled birds are black with white V tips.

Look up mottled houdan and mottled cochins to see color.

Seriously man one of these days I need to check out your fowl in person
Sounds like you have an interesting collection

They are just different sizes. From biggest to smallest u have : O- shamo, chu- shamo, bantam shamo and ko shamo. Sonatol is a bloodline, or family of asils.

I sure have learned this the hard way in the case of my IDEAL Orloffs. I wound up with a very tiny pullet with a crooked beak and with a cockerel whose coloring is hardly spangled and who himself is also small for an Orloff. Then again, they are hatchery stock, too.

I was thinking about getting some thai gamefowl. How are they around children? Are they too mean?
Can anybody post some good and bad about them? I heard they are pretty mellow around people.

I believe CUDA has some Thai gamefowl. Read that his birds are wonderful with his kids. They follow the kids around like dogs and are really tolerant to handling.

If I'm not mistaken, all Oriental gamefowl are good with people and kids (that is, all purebred Oriental gamefowl). However, I could be mistaken.
