Fantastic looking fowl, has everything a good malay needs, cant see why people bag a bit of shamo blood in the malay.....this is the sort of fowl are great grangfathers bred, before the show craze turned them into long legged indians.

The shamo blood certainly helps lengthen the neck, with patience and doing it in moderation there are improvements to be made.
This bird turned out to be henfeathered and I doubt if he is fertile, I see him mating his hens and from around 30 eggs so far none were fertile,next year I put him with my worst couple of hens in case it happens again because he made me loose a season, if nothing happens next year he has to go. Since this photo he has stood up more like a proper shamo stance,I was hoping to start a program aiming to lift my shamo line up higher as they suppose to be..
That cross would produce birds resembling the Australian game and some could resemble Thais to a certain degree…Obviously it will be an unfinished project from the first cross.
Temperament would be a big question mark from the original Thais though…Not that it would matter to me I prefer docile birds, makes it much easier during raising any game chicks together.
