O Shamo Chickens: Australia Buying Guide

O Shamo are the larger form within the Shamo family. Their upright stance, strong frame and close feathering give them a very different outline from a soft-feathered laying hen.

More about O Shamo Chickens

Character & features

The erect carriage, close feathering and strong frame give O Shamo their imposing appearance. The name identifies the larger Shamo form, so adult space needs deserve attention from the start.

Match the birds to your purpose: a laying flock, an ornamental group or a planned breeding setup. Talk to us about the particular birds if temperament or handling is important to you.
