Yes reportedly common in Sumatras, my Sumatra large fowl hens all have buds at 7-8 months but no growth yet. Time will tell, but breeders recommend culling for anything less than two spur buds.I have a sumatra Bantam pullet with spurs rivaling my cockerels of the same age but different breed. And many of my girls have the spur buds but not nearly as much development.
