I am in shock on how LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG those spurs are!

Spur contest! He wins. His evident good health is a tribute to the care that your Grandmom gives him. He's a beauty.

Okay, so I went to my grandma's tonight. I took some more pictures of him and measured his spurs. I'll post pictures here in a few. Gotta upload them and everything.

Kellogg.

Spurs!

Amazing! When you see him again check to see what that bump is on that foot. Does it look swollen? Although it could be his age....I have no idea how old chicken feet should look!

He has a little growth thing on it, we know it's there. It formed about two years ago but doesn't seem to be bothering him much. You can even touch it. Isn't hard or anything either. We don't really know what it is.

brown leghorn. also easy to remove the spurs using the twist method.

Oh no! We don't want to remove them. Just posted pictures of them because someone had asked something about whether or not we've measured them before.

If he is roughing up the hens they can be removed. You can also remove them just to be safe. They will grow back and won't hurt the roo
