Rooster bleeding from spur

[chickypoo]

Okay, so our RIR roo, Morgan, needed his spurs trimmed, so dad used the baked potato method and it worked like a dream. However, later today dad was walking across the yard with Morgan's nemesis, the green bucket

! So of course, Morgan came and attacked it and in the process damaged one spur bud (if that's what you call it) and it is bleeding at a pretty steady rate. We are applying direct pressure but does anyone know how to deal with an injury like this? I have heard you can put superglue on cuts, can we do that? Other than wrapping it I don't know how to keep it protected but being a chicken I doubt the bandage would last long.

Thanks!

Super glue is a great solution. You can help stop the bleeding by using something like cornstarch or flour - this helps form a clot.

pepper! i know it sounds painful but its not and it works great for stopping bleeding, even on people

Dehydrated potato. Potato buds. Does not cause infection. We keep some in our human first-aid box!

Quik-stop It can be purchased at any pet store. Also corn starch works, just not as well. I can see super glue working as well.
