Yes you can trim a roosters spurs. Trimming the spurs on a rooster can be done several ways.
Hand filing is a little tedious and can be difficult with a struggling rooster. Full grown spurs cannot/should not just be cut like you would with a dogs nails, they will bleed profusely and can actually bleed out a bird if done wrong.
Use a dremel tool or rotary grinder for quick trim jobs and file away only about 1/3 of the length to avoid blood loss. File flat so the spur is blunt.
The rock and twist method involved pliers. First move the spur back and forth until the spur breaks at the base, with a light grip then twist the hard spur releasing it from the inner core. You will be left with a soft inner core which may bleed a little.
I will give you a good link with pictures to get more information. See RELATED LINKS

∙ 11y agoDon't cut them. Place a hot potatoe(cooked in microwave is faster) on the talon, as in peirce the potatoe with his talon and hold it on there for 5-10 minutes. Remove potatoe and twist off talon. He'll be left with a short fleashy talon. If it bleeds all you need is a little septic power available at most pet stores. They grow back.

When do roosters mostly crow?
== == All of my roosters start crowing around 5-6 months old. Roosters will usually make their first attempt at crowing between 5 and 8 weeks old. At that time the males in the flock will also start trying to establish dominance over the other roosters of the same age.Even the adult rooster gets challenged which always results in a quick tail kicking and a dash for cover for the upstart. This is usually the point when the culling begins and those feisty little upstarts are either off to the freezer or to another farm.
