Double spurs

A friend of mine came to the house today with a gobbler with double spurs. The top were 1" and just below them was another set about 3/8" long. I have seen bearded hens gobblers with multiple beards but never heard of double spurs. Have any of you ever heard os such?

I have seen them onceon a rooster chicken before. So I'm sure turkeys can have them too.

RE: Double spurs

Yes sir, they are rare critters but it does happen. In fact, you can search the N.W.T.F records and find some trophy Toms with 3 spurs per leg! Wouldn't that be awesome! CONGRATS to your buddy, he indeed has one rare trophy.

I sure wish you would have taken some pix to share with us though???
