Why does the pic look photoshopped, or is it just me?

Thank you, I know they freaked me out when I seen them the first time. My first worry was will I ever be able to introduce him to my flock. Or maybe just section a part of the land and fence and cover it well and find him some lady friends. So far he has been very loving to us, but he has never been with other chickens as far as I am aware of. So that may be a problem he shows interest in them through the window...we will see how it goes.

Thank you all for posting replies it has given me a lot to think about!

Hugs

There is a way to trim spurs, here's a link to CUDA's page that shows how: http://www.freewebs.com/cajunyankee/spurs.htm

Also, there's an excellent youtube video on it. Here's the link:

We have had to trim the spurs on our leghorn every so often, as he'd start tearing up the girls. I'd give them a trim for sure if he's going to be mingling with your ladies.

Oh my gosh he just cut that sucker right off......wow I would have to read a lot more sit down and study how they are doing this cause I would hate to cut him in any way that would harm him.....thank you for the links I didnt know if there was anything I could do for him. He has tripped now 4 times since so I know they are getting in his way.
