My poor boy grew 7 inch spurs and he was tripping himself when he walked. They were clearly more of a hindrance than an asset. For those who are only going to take off the excess length and points...hold a flashlight behind the spur and you will see where the quick begins. I had to take about 2 inches off each spur and rounded them over but never got near the quick. He immediately became happier with his restored mobility.

How did you take the end off? What tool? My boy just sliced his toe open on he's foot with he's opposite spur. I'll have to trim them back before more damage is done but I'm not sure how. Help!

Thanks for the information on the spurs. I’m 15 and started a chicken farm as part of my homeschooling. This is my first dealings with a rooster and My rooster is a jerk . He has not gotten his spurs yet. I hope he straightens out before his spurs grow out, or I may be forced to cull him( I’ve never had to do that yet) which will be hard cause I raised him from a little chick. Thanks again for the info!!

Roosters are a lot more valuable to the flock then people think

Good video..short..sweet..to the point. Thank you😊

We had a rooster that had a long and sharp spur, he got out of his coop one night and when i tried to pick him up and get him back, he lacerated my forearm. The laceration was wide and deep. It was stitched and hurts while healing.

Roosters are awesome! Even the "bad" ones can be trained to not be aggressive towards humans. Usually it's a young, 1st year roo who is full of hormones and learning his boundaries. I give my aggressive roos attention such as picking him up and walking around with him each day. I also understand his need to protect his girls and do everything to let him know I'm not there to hurt his girls. I have no problems at all with this approach working.

Upload a slow motion spur rooster fight video plz i want to see how rooster use their spur

Good Video/Info.

Interesting.. grew up with a chicken coop, and we had one rooster that would try to attack us and another rooster that we had longer and was more dominant would act as our bodyguard taking him down to defend us, once we were out of the area they would get along. Interesting behavior.

Is there a way for me to send you photos with advice please? My Large 21 week old 3 Cornish Cross hens have big open wounds under their feathers where the rooster was digging in whilst mounting and I would imagine they should heal by themselves but just want to make sure incase I should assist the process. Damage wasn’t made by spurs…as I don’t think the rooster had them developed yet, they’re all the same age.

I don't remember when was the last time when any rooster chased me. Maybe because I like to chase them instead and keep them under my shoulder.

Thank you for sharing this and is there something to cover their spurs ? 🐓🐔🐓🐔🐓

My 1 year old rooster Mac attacked me for the first time today while I was filling their water - he’s never showed any aggression before. I’m wondering if it’s because predator activity is ramping up this time of year? Not sure how I’ll deal with him since I have kids and don’t want them getting sliced.

You can hold down a rooster and get him to know you aren't a threat to him or his hen's.😊

My rooster spurred me in the face and sliced my face....it's a shame because I love roosters but sadly I need to give him up, we cannot reside on the same premises peacefully together.

I take the spurs off in the spring their body slams are hard but don't hurt so even if the spurs are gone they will still attack

I had no idea.

In some culture, a winning rooster with this talons may worth hundreds of thousands of dollars....

If you take a flashlight and hold up to the spur you can see where light penetrates more and a darker area. Where there’s darkness and less light, is the fleshy spur underneath. You want to miss that or it will bleed. Cut a little ways from it and then you can file it smooth. I’ve seen where you can take off the whole hard spur also and leave the soft spot exposed. It’s like removing a nail and having the tissue show. It does grow back & you need to check in a couple months, it’s length again. I just keep watching different videos for I feel I could do.

Roosters like to spur me.

Thank you for let me no

My rooster will attack you from the front. He is really nasty. Somebody gave him to me and was not nice enough to tell me that that was why. I was thinking about getting one of those padded suits you used to train attack dogs cause he’s very beautiful and is sweet to his hands

Poor breeding selection may result in an aggressive bird just like cats dogs and people, spurs are part of the anatomy of Phasianidae the family chickens are in with pheasant, Peacocks etc.

My parents are afraid of the rooster. I grabbed him, took him inside, and cliped the tips off like toenails on a dog. Just the tippy tip. He cared not.

All that bs and not one spur removed . Been chicken farming about 30 years now and every rooster we have had is solely concerned about his own preservation and could care less about the hens demise. So much for them taking the bullet for the hen

traumatic? Cmon dude...that's a bit dramatic...it's a bird after all. Not sure why anyone would try to run away from a rooster. I have a 14 lb ornery Buff Cochin rooster who can be aggressive on occasion. I noticed he attacks based on the shoes I wear into the run. If I wear my barn boots, he's cool but on the few occasions when I went in with sneakers on, he goes after me with a vengeance. When he does attack I simply grab his tail feathers, turn him and pick him up. This stops the attack immediately and I then pet and talk to him till he calms down. I researched the various methods of spur removal and they all seem inhumane. I opted to simply round over the points with a file. Lately I've been using a dremmel with a sanding wheel which makes it easy and quick. It doesn't hurt him in the least and takes away the possibility of him goring me or accidentally injuring a hen. And all coops should be closed and locked up at night. That's when predators are out and raccoons can figure out how to open latched doors. I use a cheap carabiner to secure the latches.
