After reading back over it I should point out something I said wrong. I should have said that 1" to 1.125" were more average of big bird size spurs. I've seen plenty of 1" spurs which is pretty run of the mill.

I guess I should have said that the usual number of 1.125"+ spurs were replaced by 1.25" to 1.5" spur lengths. The total number of long spurred birds jumped quite dramatically in my mind.
