Something disturbing today... #1 noticed the serama rooster's spurs have finally grown into the sides of his legs.

I knew it was coming, but obviously haven't been checking well enough. Spurs are embedded... his right side is worse.

Thought I was in for a heap of trouble and a bloody mess, but it wasn't too bad. Clipped as close as possible and calluses must have formed since the spur tips came out with no blood.

So glad he caught it early. Lucky for that rooster #1 likes him and picks him up every so often. Guess this will be a regular maintenance thing.
Oh, he's got leg mites too.
