Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Any of you ever had a rooster whose spurs grew so long they interfered with walking? I've had several roosters over the years, but never one with spurs anywhere near the length of these. I noticed yesterday he's even having trouble coming down the ramp. He steps so high on the ground he should be wearing high waters.

Anything I can do for him?

Grab a lily pad - there's an empty one next to mine.

You can trim the tips back to the quick (pretty much a 2 person job) or you can grind them down. A bit at a time to reduce the possibility of bleeding.
