I used dog nail trimmers to trim the sharp points from the rooster's spurs to reduce the danger posed to my children. He bled a little when I got into the quick, but a few days later seems perfectly fine. In the picture above you can see the trimmed spur on the right. The untrimmed spur on the left is on the verge of shedding its outer layer, much like a cat sheds its claws to maintain sharpness.
