Instructions
Find a veterinarian skilled with farm animals and who specializes in spur removal of young roosters. The job requires some special tools and knowledge of anatomy so as to not injure the animal.
Make an appointment with the veterinarian and bring your rooster to the office if the doctor cannot come to you. If not in an office setting, the procedure should be performed in a semi-open area where the animal has space to move, but is also confined afterwards.
Offer to help hold the rooster once the sedative medication has been administered, so that the veterinarian can get the proper positioning. However, be very careful to not interfere with the process. The doctor will use an electrocautery gun to inhibit the growth of the cells. He penetrates into the area where the spur grows but does not cause permanent damage or excessive bleeding.
Isolate the rooster for several hours, or up to a day so it can recover, and follow up on any after-care instructions you've been given. Since an area on the rooster's flesh has been burned and exposed, you may need to watch for infection through the initial stages of healing.
How to Remove Spurs From a Young Rooster Permanently
Male roosters have sharp horn-like growths, or spurs, protruding from their legs at right angles. These natural defense mechanisms are used when roosters fight, but also when the bird lashes out in fear or aggression. These protrusions grow continuously, and if not removed must be kept filed down so they don't pose a danger. It is possible to permanently hinder their growth in a young rooster, but it requires a skilled professional.
