TRIMMING SPURS

[centrarchid]

Watching dubbing videos on YouTube makes my stomach churn a bit, but will you be documenting how you dub your birds? You seem to be extremely knowledgeable in your care of chickens and I would be very interested in your preferred practice and method when it comes to dubbing birds.

My dubbing skills are nothing to brag about. I think process is one likely to be censored by moderators and will not go over with many people.

It shouldn't be,
what with the slaughtering, butchering, and necropsy photos on here,
it's a legitimate show procedure,
just need to label the the thread 'GRAPHIC'.
Maybe it should be put in the show bird forum?

A show bird person should do it. I do it now to protect against frost bite and used to do it because it improved odds for my games. There are particulars to dubbing for looks I do not adhere to.

Discomfort associated with the trimming is very short in duration. Spurs partially broken off like a hang nail do seem to cause discomfort. Stress associated with being restrained is a bigger deal, especially with birds not used to being handled.

I don't think it's big to trim npw

Those are OK. Some birds never require trimming. Area under right foot pad needs a little looking after. Possibly bumble foot.

Yeah we are treating him for bumblefoot but it keeps coming back after removing but now it's healing after months
