Index of Subjects Hi Jim The domestic roosters that we have had, have lost spurs when fighting, or when the spurs have grown very long they get tangled in bushes and will dislodge. They seem to be shells, hollow, and there is a stub left behind that will grow into a spur. Seems that it doesn't hurt the rooster and they still crow, scratch and do the other roosterly duties.
