It's fine where it is.
Curious tho, why do you think spur covers would be good/needed?
Was asking about the covers because my roo has began causing places on the hens from them. At first it was taking all the feathers off their back. Of 12 hens there are 4 this has happened to. Now his spurs have grown and gotten sharp points and a couple of the hens are getting a bruise color on their sides. In looking up articles about it .. some suggested using spur caps to put a cushion between the spur and the hen. This is why i wanted to know from BYC folks if anyone had used them and if they were safe. The ones we saw online just looked like rubber pieces that slipped over the spur ..expand...
IN NO WAY HAVE WE ANY INTEREST IN FIGHTING BIRDS ... TO ME IT IS CRUEL!!
