We use a small hacksaw. Leave about 1/2 inch or so from the leg. They will bleed a bit. If you tap them with something on the tip a few times before cutting, it will minimize the blood. (have a helper hold the bird while you do this, will make it easier)
Keeping spurs short will also minimize the feather damage that a roo can cause his hens when he tops them.
