Our flock was out freeranging today and I went out to check on them and saw fresh blood drops on the back porch, not alot just like someone walked by dripping. I quickly made the rounds and checked everyone visually and noticed that our Rooster, Rory, had completly torn one of his spurs off! I have no idea what happened as I didnt hear and kind of commotion and I have looked everywhere that he could have gotten hung up and can't find anything. I didn't want to stress him by chasing him down in the yard so I just kept an eye on him and it quit bleeding pretty quickly and when we put everyone up for the night i checked him over and put some Neosporin on the wound... A round place where the spur was basically. His foot seemed fine and he didn't seem any worse for the wear but I need some input... Has anyone ever had this happen? What did you do? Did it heal ok? Did the spur grow back?
I have trimmed them before and they grew back but this one is GONE!

Thanks for your help
 
I would clean it up and maybe wrap it. As long as he doesn't seem to be in a lot of pain and is acting well, I would just leave be and let it heal. (By the way, what breed is the chicken in your profile picture?)
 
Thanks, the lil guy in my profile pic is Ty our little Bantam D'uccle roo when he was just a little guy about 3 months old. He is such a sweety.
