"Little white rooster"

[jim srooster]

I have a little white (in color) rooster that has 4 inch spurs that curl up.
Its not spurring him, but looks wierd..
Is this normal??

It would be helpful to see a picture, but I'm guessing it's normal. We have a bantam rooster that has some strange looking, curly spurs. To make sure, it would be best if you post a picture of them.

4" would be huge! Did you actually measure them? I would love to see a pic!

It may not be completely "normal" but if they aren't causing any harm they should just be kept close watch on. There are many threads on here about trimming & removing spurs that you might want to check out.

I think of spurs that grow in odd directions like cows horns that grow into their eyes. It is essentially "normal" for them but b/c their genetics caused them to grow that way; that doesn't mean you can just leave them be. Eventually they will cause damage so its good to be prepared.
