We have three Jap Families. The Gowdy Japs are the black Japs that were so successful for Mr. Gowdy for many years. They are tall beautiful black to black-red birds, some showing white in their tail. The cocks usually come black to black-yellow with molted legs and the hens are all solid black with dark legs. Talk about great fowl to cross over, Sweater, Hatch and Kelso’s. These are great.
Our Shamo Japs are tall slim rugged birds that stand up straight and tall. These birds have been bred for many years by the great Hmong breeders. They walk with their head high and tail down. They walk erect as though they were royalty. These birds come pumpkin to white in color and are the very best Shamo that I know of anywhere. Their weight ranges from 5 lbs 14 oz to 6 lbs 8 oz mature.
Our Tuzo type Japs are small dark fowl that weigh around 4 lbs mature. They range in color from solid black to some showing some red in the neck feathers. The hens are all solid black. These little birds seem to cross well with most any breed of fowl from American to Spanish. They are the most versatile fowl I know of today. They are tremendous little birds.
The Moroccan Blue Japs are great little fowl that come in colors ranging from dark blue to Dom in color. They are graceful and agile birds that would add to any breeding program. Rare and Great!
Ko Shamo: These are the real deal – small Red Japs. When I say small I mean small – 1 lb 10 oz mature as cocks. These are in high demand all over the world. A treasure to have!
