Product Description
An ancient breed originating in Thailand and further developed in Japan for cockfighting but elsewhere considered ornamental. The breed name comes from the Japanese word Sham, or Siam, the former name of Thailand. The Shamo is the second tallest chicken after the Malay, growing to about 30 inches (75 cm) in height.
It has a pea comb, although, occasionally, walnut combs appear; a beetle brow; an upright stance; and a downward-turning tail. Shamos may be large or bantam in size and come in a few established color varieties but are not bred for color outside exhibition circles. They have an athletic body with strong muscular legs and are extremely aggressive toward each other but not toward humans.
