annettec Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I have a 26 week old Cream Legbar that is still not laying. I noticed this morning that she has two lumps on the back of her legs. Thay are on the exactly the same place on each leg. Her scales on her legs are smooth and legs are lovely and yellow. She was attacked at 8 weeks resulting in a huge loss of feathers and me tube feeding her and made a miraculous recovery and so had put the shock down to the lateness in laying. Her comb is large red and floppy. I wondering if these could be spur sites but I thought only cockerals had spurs or could it be something more nasty ? Thanks for any ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alet_chicken Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 It sounds like spurs to me. Do you have a picture? It is really not unusual for hens to develop spurs. I have a leghorn with an impressive set (her sister has none), and she lays pretty well too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I have several hens with spurs. It is nothing to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
