Long spurs

[Riocotesei]

I just got a white silkie rooster for my mom and it's 3 years old, and has big 'ol long spurs. Maybe 2-3 inches long, I don't have chickens that are old enough for me to know what to do with spurs...Do I need to cut or clip them? With what? Scissors, nail clippers?
Thanks in advance.

I cant remember exactly, but it IS on this site, how to take the spurs off with little pain.

I did a search on here. Something wierd about poatoes...
but there is another that says to use a hack saw or a dremel tool, so we'll probably do that.
thanks

I do not clip my roos spurs at all and they do just fine. Sometimes they'll break one off on their own, but I've never had any problems with it.
