Hi everybody. I have some young chickens. I have a rooster and I was wondering if you can trim a rooster's spur or despur a rooster. And if you can trim a roosters spur (which would probably be cheaper than having someone remove the spur ) how far can can you trim the spur. Thanks

Most people trim i think.... About 1/4 of a inch from the leg.. Some longer, it's pretty simple really.. I also heard you can hold the roosters spur up to the sun, and most of the time.. Be able to tell where there'll be blood, and cut right before it so it doesn't bleed.. It'd never bleed much or major though either way, and friction from a dremel tool, hacksaw, or file (not a fingernail file..) is enough to cauterize it..
 
thanks 4 all the info.
