    Is He Still Eligible For A Show?

    A rooster without spurs is perfectly fine- I would just make sure both spurs look the same, and are the same lengths etc. If not you could loose marks in the legs/feet section of the point scale.- depending on how picky the judge is! If showing in a PCGB affiliated show, I would suggest you...

    Collecting eggs

    The oldest eggs I will use when hatching are 10 days old, but I like having them under 7 days old if possible. I normally mark the egg with the date I collected it, which helps me know how old they are when I am setting them. After 10 days, the chances of the egg developing drops quite a bit.
