Rooster Spurs

Of course!
This method is used to maintain and shorten overly long spurs.
The OP asked how to humanely shorten the spurs. This will do the trick.
She could also pin him down and take a pair of plier type dog nail cutters to him and lop them off to 1/4" length but he'll bleed and I'd put money on it that would hurt like heck!
Incidentally, the twist method could be repeated quarterly to continue to shorten the spurs to a more reasonable length.

I'm not really concerned that that the roo in the video had spurs still. Roos are supposed to have them, I'm just trying to help the fella out. Those long spurs he's sporting now have him barely able to walk. He does a lot of hopping which is not normal.

I have not had to do this yet but may have to soon with my roo, so let us know what you do and how it goes!

I will let you know what we decide to do.
