The Ko Shamo Thread

I have to admit...they've grown on me since you got them and started sharing pics of them..
Great info on em Pyxis..

That is such a bummer. I love his stance.

Thanks! He's getting shown for sure, but since it's not an accepted color yet he can't really compete unfortunately.

That is such a bummer. I love his stance.

Me too! He's gonna make me some nice chicks. He's over two wheatens, so half his offspring will be wheaten, which is an accepted color

Got any new pictures to share?

I can get some! My cock is currently very invested in helping Coriander (OEGB hen) with her new chicks, even though they aren't his. He's miffed that I won't let him in with them for now, haha.

Lol! I'll have pics of coriander also.

Here's a Ko Shamo roo that took best in breed and best game bird at the Italian national poultry championship in December. It scored E97 (E for exceptional), tying the score of the overall best in show winner, a white crested bantam Polish hen (a breed that has much higher crowd appeal). I believe only one other bird, a bearded white Silkie, scored that high.

Coloring is "Dorata Frumento" which translates as Golden Wheat.

Here's a link to my thread with dozens of photos from that show.

Thanks for the picture, it's interesting to see! Do you know if the Standard there also calls for their proportions to be in thirds?

Snapped a couple pictures of my blue wheaten stag today

Yes:
"Il corpo è divisibile in tre parti: un terzo testa e collo, un terzo tronco e un terzo zampe"
(the body is divided in three parts: one-third head and neck, one-third trunk, and on-third legs")

Here are the standards:
