Does anyone know if anything can be done about the sharp spurs on the
roosters? They are tearing up my hens!!!

I heard of removing spurs using a baked potato pressed on the spur for like 3 minutes grab and pull. Ive never heard of anyone using it. It was in a poulty book. I don't even know if it would work.
 
not an expert but I have a friend who said she trimmed her rooster spurs. I haven't reach that poing with my chickens only 13 wks old
 
i usually just trim mine with a spur saw or hacksaw works just as good just dont go too far because they will be into the quick and will bleed some
 
If you will grab the spur firmly and twist back and forth it will twist right off the nub. It won't hurt the bird.
