A spur is a projection on the rear of the shank. It typically increases with size as the bird ages and is prominent on male Ameraucana.
Occasionally you will see a spur on an Ameraucana female. Presence of a spur on Ameraucana females is a defect.
A double spur on Ameraucana males and females would be considered a defect. You can review the relevant point deductions in your APA Standard.
