Quando as esporas do Galo viram um Grande Problema

🐓 ROOSTER SPURS: Problem or Advantage? In today's video, we'll talk about a very curious topic in poultry farming: rooster spurs. Why do some roosters develop enormous spurs? Are they really for defense? Do large spurs hinder the rooster? And can they hurt the hens during mating? I showed several types of spurs here on the farm: some grow upwards, others downwards, some almost touch the ground, and there are even birds with multiple spurs. I also talked about: ✔️ The function of spurs in nature ✔️ When they start to become a problem ✔️ How to trim or file them correctly ✔️ The risk of cutting too much ✔️ The old method of burning the spur area while the chick is still a chick ✔️ Interesting facts about fighting roosters and artificial spurs ✔️ Whether large spurs mean more fertility or dominance In addition, I showed the case of Thompson, a rooster with an extremely large spur that I've had to cut several times. And now I want to know your opinion: Do you prefer roosters with large or small spurs? Have you ever had problems with spurs injuring hens?
