He wouldn't come out of the fence like a real bully and "Bring it on" at the party. Instead he stayed inside the fence where the little children couldn't get ahold of him to tame him down. Don't back down from him Suzanne, it is obvious he has your number. If you like, I will send my two chicken tamers up for an intense traning session. Little time pulling bottles, learning to walk on a harness he will be a different roo. :jackolantern: Honestly?! He wouldn’t come out of the fence like a real bully and “Bring it on” at the party.

Not only for your safety, but because when he treads on the backs of the hens, he can cause cuts down her sides and wings. These can go unnoticed because of the feathering running perpendicular to the cuts. Careful b/c birds have very little blood, have something on hand to stop the bleeding, should there be any. Here is a link: http://www.freewebs.com/cajunyankee/spurs.htm# Apparently, you can also grind them down with a dremel.

Spurs sunk in the arch of both feet (never wear flip-flops to the henhouse)and Chicken and Dumplins for dinner. Sis had to hobble to the table but she enjoyed every bite.
