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

You learn all kinds of neat things on here!

I use dog clippers on the nails but Maribeth I know on my dogs nails I use a dremmel tool to file them. I wonder if that would work to round the nails and the spurs?

We have large Columbian Wyandottes and i just love them, the pattern is beautiful. The first time I seen the Coronation I knew I wanted some but I have to hold off for a while.
