rooster spurs

[autumn11]

My roosters spurs are getting big can I file them down with a nail filer if not can you tell me a way to shorten his spurs

 

[GiddyMoon]

You can just twist them off with your hands or with pliers..

this really works

i have done it and it is the best way to get rid of them and it really does not bother the rooster

While I held our roo, my husband firmly grabbed his spurs with a pair of pliers and popped them off. Simple and easy. But have a little blood stop powder as they will ooze off and on and turn a dark color or blackish, but this is normal.

Will the spurs grow back?

 

[GiddyMoon]

Yep..and then you do it again when they get too long

Thx!

I remember when I was a kid (and cock fighting was legal

) some folks my mother worked for had roos. They used a hack saw to cut the spurs. They also had something they put on the cut for bleeding. I was maybe 9 at the time not sure what it was.
