My Japanese Bantam rooster is having problems walking and keeping up with the other chickens. When I picked him up I was shocked to see how long and curved his spurs are.
Because he has such short legs, the sharp tips of the spurs are poking him in his behind if he tries to run or walk fast. Poor thing!!
How can I make the spurs smaller? I want to cut them off some how, but what can I use and how short can I cut them?
I DO NOT want to do the twisting off the spurs with pliers thing - I watched some videos and it looks nasty (I hate the sight of blood and am not confident to do this method on my own as I have no one to help me).
Thanks in advance. (also sorry if this is in the wrong section and I was not sure where it fit.
