Turkey Spurs
« on: April 19, 2011, 05:09:56 PM »
I've never kept any of the spurs off of my birds in the past. My dad got a set about an inch long this year and I am wanting to do his tail, beard and spurs for him. What do I need to do to cure the spurs?

What I have done is just clean them the best you can, and then boil them for just a min to loosen what you cant scrape off. Finish cleaning them with a little brush, and I put clear nail polish on them to bring out the natural color.  You can also put the date on them with a fine sharpy and cover with clear polish after it dries.

I just throw them in the shop. They dry out, then cut on both side of the spur, clean out the hole and your good to go.
