A few weeks ago I bought a 6 week old pullet from the flea market, she's in excellent health. Whew!
Except....she has a really long neck, really long legs, and a short beak. Mable's the most dearest thing, follows me around like my dog. She surprises me by jumping on my head and shoulders, freaks out when she can't see a human. At first I was dubious whether she was a chicken. But after looking around she seems to be a Shamo. How do you integrate a Shamo? I introduced her to some 13 week olds - she beat the living tar out of them. I would get some pics on here, but I need to figure how to hook up the camera. Her color is a creamish tan with black and brown. Any help or info on this bird would be greatly appreciated!

Are you sure "she" is a she? Because the simple answer if "she" is not is that you don't.

I'd love to see a pic, as I'm sure would many others. I'm having a hard time picturing a Shamo at a flea market?
 
THey sell chickens at flea markets here in NC, too. And my friend used to sell chicks every spring at the flea market in IN.

OP, sorry, I've never seen a shamo, except in pics. THey're very strange looking!
 
From what I understand.....The stags will fight any rooster till one or the other is dead. Sometimes the hens can be prone to fighting also. I just got a trio a couple of weeks ago so I am on a learning curve. Right now mine are with three araucanas that they have been around since hatching. They are very people-y.

I was referring to Shamos in particular due to the priciness and rariety.
 
What's the question? No matter the gender, they have long legs, neck.

She'll be fine introduced to the others.

ETA - Female hen and pullet for comparison.
