@JacinLarkwell, wanna see my Sumatra Demon's 10 spurs?

My mom is thinking about giving me her old green house to use as a coop. Thinking it'll be good for Sumatras.

I saw on the spurless thread. Makes my Sinbad jealous that he only has 9

Oh, you did.

9 is still quite a few.

Ueah, but to him it's just one fewer

They could be buddies though. Demon is abit unpredictable, & has a temper. He occasionally would randomly attacks the feed scoop at feeding time.

After his spur pictures he tried kicking my sister through the gate while she was setting up the barrier(Protection Against Barn Cats), I tried shooing him away, & he attempted to kick me through the gate.

It would be abit scary to have a chicken with spurs all the way up it's shanks.

Luckily they don't seem to grow as fast. My old male I had was 8 and his weren't much larger than Demons. He only had 2 on each foot though

Yeah, slow growing spurs is a good thing. If he were to actually kick me, or my sister, at least we'd have bruises. He did kick me up my leg once.

2-3 spurs per leg on Sumatras are common.
