Do any of you trim your rooster spurs??  (Question came up during a
chat this morning.)


I wanted to ask this very question!  I have a beautiful Aracauna (I know
this because he came out of a green egg) rooster.  His spurs are so long,
it interferes with his walking and the hens avoid him like the plague.  A
friend told me I could twist the spurs off with pliers, but I've been too
"chicken" to try that.  Would pruning shears work?  Would he bleed a lot?
