O-Shamo are pretty huge. They very muscular and super tall.

It's another type of Shamo, not recognized in America. I think, if I remember correctly, the "O" stands for "BIG" in Japanese/Chinese. They're a very impressive bird.

Your right very impressive. I googled and it said that although they are used in Japan for sport they can be very tame. I'm impressed!!

I think for myself the JG might be a better choice.
I think they kids and the nursing home might like the JG better. They look like friendly chickens.


The O Shamo lokks very athletic but not as approachable.

I wonder how the chihuahuas next door would like it if I got one of those guys though.

Actually, they look very intimidating but they are known for their sweet nature around people. My friend has some that he's never handled and his are just dolls, they're so sweet. But yes, I'd aggree. They'd probably scare small children and nursing home patients!

The chihuahuas would go missing if they met a Shamo!

Here is one site that I find a lot of information on



http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/Games/Shamo/BRKShamo.html

The writer for that site says that although they are tame to people the chicks even fight.

Wow the things I learn on BYC

Nugget my dino-roo in Dec. 2008, he's grown since then. I'm working on trying to get some offspring from him.

Laying on his back, he's very gentle, we tried hypnotizing him.
