Spurs on Shed

As some of you may remember i mentioned that my Adult Female Corn shed "spurs" recently. Cleaning my daughters bedroom earlier i found the shed in question (she collects them!) and got this picture - it is the clearest one i could get.



She is a rescue so i am not certain that she is a female, just going on what i have been told.

Re: Spurs on Shed

Those are not spurs, Rob. They are actually shed skin covering of the hemipenes, but some people call them "sperm plugs." They are a definitive sign that the previous owner of the shed is male. I'd say your girl is actually a boy.
