I'm concerned he will injure the soft spurs and start bleeding everywhere. I've read that you should keep them separated for a few days if removing the whole spur/sheath. You didn't have any trouble with that?

I've only done it with 2 roosters so far. The one in the picture was like that when i got him. Had to do something, so i tried it. One spur bled maybe 3 drops. The other none at all. The second rooster was a bantam cochin, his spurs were a little thicker and they did bleed a little. I held him and kept dipping the spur in flour. He finally jumped down and went back into his pen. He was mating a hen within an hour.
So I guess it depends on the rooster. But i was so amazed at how easy it was, I will do all of mine that way. And for the record, I'm a wuss when it comes to culling and such. :P
 
You know, speaking of competitions. I know some counties have a poultry fanciers association or something of that sort. I can't seem to find one for Berks, should I just join up with the closest county next to me???
 
This is George (of the jungle). He was supposed to be a girl... My son calls my Muscovy jungle ducks so I ordered him a couple saipian jungle fowl pullets so he could have jungle chickens too. We have a girl named shep but George is the cool one. One of the most chilled out chickens we have. No idea what to do with him. For now he behaves and I really want to see how big he'll get. Except he jumps into the feed everytime I leave the lid off lol. He was the boy practicing his crow outside my window lol.

He's a growing Boy! With those legs to catch up to he is probably feeling starved 24/7! Looks like he is going to be a very big boy!
 
You per, we had a member here...troyer...who raised those type of birds, I believe. He moved to Michigan last year but still stops in once in a while. He can help get you answers or direct you to where to find them...
@Blarneyeggs ...do you have Troyer contact info?I tried tagging him with the @ symbol but his name didn't come up on the list?
