Thanks for the info. Mike and the encouragement I will need it.

Much easier than I ever thought all those years ago! I tend to use a plyers to make sure I have a good grip on the spur. I was amazed the first time how easy it was.

Mindy and Tom Best:
Thank you Michael!

Holiday Hatch:
I've never removed spur's either and I've never kept Cockerels/Roosters to get much older than a year.  Now I have a couple I plan to keep.  The year olds look like their spurs should be removed.  Is there an age this is generally done or just when it needs it?  Thanks - Linda

I never have removed their spurs.  I just get a pair of dog nail clippers and blunt the tip of the spur prior to putting the hens in.  It seems to work fine.  I haven't had any injured hens.
