Hi folks,
I'm fostering a rooster who has lost one of his spurs. When I caught him he had an infected foot, and the spur on the leg with the infected foot was broken. Since then it has slowly crumbled back to more or less the level of his leg...he has a pink healthy looking "pad" there now. I have no experience with chickens and don't know what any of this is meant to look like. Will he re-grow his spur? If so, how long does it normally take for this to happen? Or has he in effect been de-spurred on that side? I'll post a picture if need be...
Thanks in advance for any help.
