I am having minor surgery tommorow, outpatient, I probably won"t even be lurking. My newly aquired birds are temporally at Okracefans house since I don't have a good preditor proof pen built for them yet and won't be around tommorow. I hope I will get them back from him!LOL Hopefully I will be home Tommorow night.

I was flogged from behind by one of my EE roosters last year. There had been no warning signs either. He actually pierced my leg thru a pair of sweat pants and made a hole in my calf the size of a 22 bullet . Needless to say, he made a great bowl of chicken dumplings. Now we use a band saw and cut the points off the horns when the spurs get long.

No need for a band saw, you should be able to just twist them off. i think some people use a potato cut in half and slide over the spur then twist. We use dog clippers and cut the points off when we dont twist them off.

I just recently started using clippers on the hens toenails since we changed the floor of the run to sandy loam I never trimmed the spurs up to the attack....never knew they could twist off or that a potato could be used....hmmmm

Please!!! LOL

I never said we had enough, just that I need to do some regrouping.....

when you twist off the spurs, they may limp around a little for a day or so, and a kind of thin substance will form over the bone spur, nothing to worry about...
