I currently have 25 chickens all mixed breeds. I incubate and hatch. 2 nd year doing this. Love marans and auracacanas. I only keep my birds for eggs no dinner table birds... my Facebook marketing and word of mouth is keeping my eggs sold. I have dogs pit bulls. Good chicken dogs.... always...
old timer showed me this trick.. Heat up a couple of bakers in the microwave 8+ minutes. Shove the hot potatoe onto the spur just above the spur bone and leg. Don't wanna burn em! Let potatoes sit for a few. Remove than grab spur and twist and pull it will pop off clean... You're welcome....
Lil flock in the hill country, I'm partial to marans and welsummers. Have two Roos and 13 hens. Expanding the flock this year. I'm pretty good at what I know and always willing to learn. Old timer showed me the potatoe spur removal trick. I watched and listened lol.
