spurs on chicken

[pitzerlady]

I have old english game hens, never had before, all have spurs, but some laying, some spurs sharp and some smaller and rounded. I feel stupid thought spurs met roos HELP I need educated. LOl

Ok, I hope someone answers this because I too thought only roos had spurs....

Nope, some pullets/hens have spurs, too. I don't believe it's breed specific, though.

I wished I had read this before I got a rooster. I love to here him crow but I really don't want to have to deal with the spurs.
