Mike,

Not specifically applied to the SOP for ameraucanas, but on page 31 under Cutting For Defects:

Shanks and Toes:
.......
(b) All Breeds Chickens, except Sumatras
1.  Extra Spur -- each extra ...........1/2 pt (cut)

Beth C:
He\'s black. I\'ve gotten rid of most of my blacks, but Fuzz has been carrying him around like a stuffed toy for 3 years. The plan was to use him over the lavenders, but I did keep one other black cock. The eye color on that one is not as good, though.

Beth C:
So far they only have 3 juniors showing so, since it\'s not a DQ, guess we\'ll take him along.

Thanks Jean.   I had never checked that out.   Since I don\'t remember many if any multiple spurs here, guess I never felt the need.  Never too old to learn, right?

I\'ve been reading my new SOP a lot since I got it.
