Interesting! Yeah the ends look like they could break pretty easily, the coloring might be from mud it's hard to say. But see what you're taking about. I don't think I can get my hands on him though to give a sniff test ;o He's super sweet and gentle but I can't do anything more than a quick...
That could be, I got him a year ago from a gal who was re-homing her flock. She said he was a couple years old. His spurs looked great when i got him, now this spur thing has developed in the last few months
I posted before but tried to edit the thread and couldn't, so I'm starting a new one with pics I was finally able to get. What's going on with his spurs?
