Rooster spurs bleeding.

[Annacee]

I removed my roosters spurs yesterday. This morning they are bright red with blood. He is a Salmon Faverolle. I used the blood stop when I removed the spurs. He appeared to be fine afterwards. Will they heal on their own or should I try to stop the bleeding?

How did you remove them? I would try to stop the bleeding.

Cut off or twist off the nail?

If cut off, I’d probably stop. Twisted will be a seep.

This is precisely why I won’t remove Spurs. Taking 1/4” off the end to blunt them maybe.

Should be just seepage. If you have bluekote, use it.

if it won't stop bleeding dip the foot in corn starch or flour then wash that off after a bit and apply blue kote

I did the twist and sprayed blukote on. The next morning they were still a little wet so I dumped an insane amount of corn starch on which stopped the bleeding.

Thanks, I’ll see if he will let me.

Mark, thank you for the information and your concern. The spurs had never been clipped and they were starting to punchier his legs. Now that I have removed them, I will be able to keep the clipped back with out any trama.
