HELP! Rooster spur came half out!!

[I Love My Chkns]

My roosters spur came half out and I'm cleaning it up, but do I pull it out? Should I clean it a specific way? Should I give him some kind of drug? Sorry I didn't give too many details, I'm just rushing. Please answer the questions above asap.

No, probably a fight though (we have 2 roosters)

How many hens do you have? You should separate them if they're fighting.

Get another set of hands to help you.
Wrap him snugly in a towel, clean it up and with a sturdy set of pliers grasp it firmly, give it a twist and it should pop right out.
It might bleed some.
Hold some pressure on it to stop the bleeding for a few minutes.

You can also put a little cornstarch on to help stop bleeding if the pressure doesn't.
One of my roo's lost a spur defending the flock from a hawk and he did fine. The spur eventually grew back. Just make sure it's clean and keep an eye on it for any infection. It will likely be fine. But if it was a fight with another roo, then you should separate them as the fighting may continue or get worse and the injuries can be pretty severe when that happens.

Thanks! It worked and he is good now. Thanks once again!

5 hens, usually the roosters dont fight too much, one just runs away.
