matt_p 0 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Hi all, just wondering who else keeps ko shamo. This will be my first year breeding them and I've been lucky enough to get some good birds to start with. I think they're a cracking breed, full of attitude and I really like their build and how they handle. I have only kept softfeather birds up until now, but I am being quickly converted.

Tuzo 251 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Who did your birds come from Matt.......there is a little scouser selling some right shit on the poultry sites, keep away from him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matt_p 0 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 They came from Ian Wileman, definitely not rubbish!! I'll keep an eye out though. Cheers, Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tuzo 251 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Would be interested to see them Matt......thats the guy I was told about, apparently he's a right shark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matt_p 0 Posted February 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Ian is a very helpful bloke, and has done very well at the big shows with his birds. I have seen them and I can assure you that they are very good. I would get some pictures, but the dog chewed through the camera and I only have my phone which doesn't really do them justice.

Tuzo 251 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Ah right I see........must be a different Ian Wileman to the one I heard of. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matt_p 0 Posted February 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Not sure what you've heard.. Ian seemed a very genuine guy with an obvious keen interest. PM me if you don't want to post on here. Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

matt_p 0 Posted February 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 They look happy and healthy.. hope they do well for you! Just wyandottes hatching at the moment here for me, but got orps and brahmas laying now so should have some of them hatched soon too! Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
millytheterrier 12 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Yeah, I hope so as well, cool, you've got a good mixture of breeds then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matt_p 0 Posted February 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I have kept quite a few breeds, but the ones that I have now are wyandottes, orps, brahmas and ko shamo. I have had plenty of birds about the place over the last couple of years, but hope to hatch a lot more this year so I can select more harshly. Take a look on here, I put up some pics of some of my birds. Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
