Permanently removing a roosters spurs.

[Thechickentrainer1999]

Does anyone know where to go or about how much it would cost to remove a rooster spurs permantly? He's a pet so he doesn't free range so it's not like he needs them to protect the hens.

Ask the same vet you will contact to find out about caponizing.

What are you doing to your roosters? Just rehome them...they are living things and dont deserve to be mutilated.

No you can't remove them permanent
Because they Are jointed with the leg tissues
U can trim them as shown in YouTube videos some use some cutters some use potatoes method

I use dog clippers and trim them as small as I can I stopped once I reach blood line

I don't know most people I know who have pets don't mutilate them.

Some vets might, but the issue is that it is bone, so it is hard to do that. Why not just trim or dremmel them a little bit? (you have to be careful how much though, cuz again, there is bone). Here is more info on this - http://www.poultrydvm.com/cases/roro

Those spurs really didn't need trimming, IMO..they were short and dull.
Wonders if they had been trimmed that same way previously to the before pics?
