@salshep20 Here is a picture of my almost 2 year old (21 months to be exact) Barred Rock Roosters spurs. I haven't ever done anything to his spurs. I need to get a picture of my Black Copper Marans/Crested Cream Legbar cross roosters spurs. Last time I checked, it was very visible where the tip of spur was very thin and would be shed off soon. I'll try to get a picture tonight if I can remember.

I have a Buff Orpington cockerel (10.5 months). His spurs are half inch long, blunt nubs. He's a bit of a jerk, not the sweet docile guy some people's BOs are. His two fellow BO cockerels were unholy terrors at 4 months and were culled. He's good with the pullets, so he gets to stay. He's.... ok.... with me, mostly. If I end up with a better guy, he'd be gone.

My project Orpington roos are big babies . I breed for that loving personality. They like being the center of attention, loves pets, & scratches. They tolerate being picked up well.

That's what I want. Unfortunately, TSC's supplier doesn't breed for anything but quantity.

Good luck with your breeding program! I hope you have many nice boys.

My Hatchery BO cockerel was awful too. The girls were so miserable with him but he was hatchmates with them.

Mine came from TSC/Hoover's Hatchery. The friendly trait came from a really great quality buff Orpington rooster I had years ago. Sadly I don't have pictures of him. I didn't have a good phone then.

Mine was a gentleman.
