What is the function of the hackle of a chicken?
The "claw" is known as a spur. The spur is a defensive appendage. A spur is a hard bony, conical projection found on the inside of the leg of sexually mature roosters and other male birds belonging to the Order Galliformes including guinea fowl, partridges, and pheasants. The spur, used as a weapon by the bird, and for no other reason. It is an outgrowth of the leg bone and is surrounded by a cone of horn like (keratinized) material. On the male chick, the spur appears as a projection, called a papilla. As the bird matures, the papilla grows larger, hardens, and starts to curve. Some hens will develop incomplete spurring, meaning they will never get long and pointed but will be physically noticeable.
