    Rooster Spurs

    It's been about 18 months and it was time to trim Ol' Festus spurs again, I hate to remove them but when it gets hard to set on the roost I feel bad for him. Kinda like the old cowboy saying don't squat with your spurs on.

    Sterilizing Chickens

    Hang them by the feet at 2:07 A.M., for exactally 9 min, then place them on Jamacian hand sewn basket facing south, and if the sun comes up behind them then you know they are steril. P.S. it usually only works in the month of Febuary, Lucky you that its leap year and you have a extra day.

    Rooster Spurs

    Just have someone hold the Rooster then hold one leg at a time, place a pair of pliers around the spur close to the leg and slowly twist, kinda like removing a bottle top and the come right off, very little or no blood, then we spray some wound care on it just for percautionary purposes.
