Egluntyne Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Not unusual. Several of my hens have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenopolis Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 My new chook Margo has a small pair of spurs on her. She was bought last week and I am still going through the introduction process but I noticed this morning that she does have the start of a pair of spurs. She is a Light Sussex hybrid - is this usual for this type of breed? She doesn't have big tail feathers and is not make any more noise than my other new hen, but am a bit worried. She doesn't seem to be crouching either....ooh I hope Margo isn't turning into a Malcolm!!!! Sorry for hijacking this post.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Chick Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Vicki has a very impressive spur on just one leg I wouldn't worry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenopolis Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Have just had an chook expert and guru look at photos of Margo - and it turns out that SHE IS A MARGO.... Extra grapes tonight I think for some cheeky ladies!!! She said that spurs on a hen is normal, but as my others don't have any I was worried.....
