Poor "Big Red"!

 Sometimes it's just not easy being a rooster! The spurs that grow out from the side of their legs are commonly known as spurs. They can grow to be quite long. Here are "Big Reds" after about an inch has been cut off of them. I just couldn't get thru them anymore with a pair of dog clippers. We will have to break out the big clippers for tomorrow.
Sadly for him, they had become so overgrown that he had injured himself on them. I noticed him for the past several days extending his leg. Today he was limping so I decided to grab him and take a look. He had a dime size gash in his upper leg. I packed it with triple anti-biotic and started him on meds. It's so sad to see this big tough guy hurting! He'll be on the mend in no time!
