Growth on leg

[CoffeeAndChickens]

Hello! Does anyone know what this is? It doesn’t look like scaly leg mites to me but maybe I’m wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Isn’t that a spur?

It’s a spur, is this a hen? Some hens can develop long spurs.

Interesting!! Yes, she’s a hen. 3 year old SS. Do I need to do anything? She’s a sweet hen, not aggressive.

No, unless they get really long.

Perfectly normal and nothing to worry about. Sometimes hens, not matter what position on the pecking order, can develop them!

I think it’s pretty neat to see! But you do not need to worry. She might just need a clipping here and there if you think it is getting to long

I have a hen with a spur too. She's currently growing a second.
