Things You'll Need
- Pan
- Toothbrush
- Pliers
- Cornstarch
Instructions
Fill a pan with warm water.
Soak your rooster's feet in the water for a few minutes, as this softens the skin around the spurs. Hold the roosters wings close to its body to keep him calm.
Brush any dirt from your rooster's feet with a toothbrush.
Sit down and hold the rooster on its back on your lap, using your thighs to hold him in place gently. Keep the rooster's head lower than his body, as this keeps him calm.
Grip the leg where the spur protrudes between your thumb and forefinger firmly.
Clamp the jaws of a pair of pliers firmly around the base of the spur.
Twist the pliers until the spur comes loose and pulls away, leaving a short, bloody spur.
Dust the bloody spur with cornstarch to staunch any bleeding.
