Was gonna do the spur test, but...

Wanted to try the new “spur size=gender” thing, but it turns out, Curtis has three spurs on one side and two on the other.

Does anyone else have this? Is it normal?
Also, got a perfectly timed photo.

Is having three on one side and two on other what you look for for the spur test? I thought it was just if one was bigger than the other?

I also thought it had to do with size.

Im so confused. If it has 3 on one side, does that mean it is female??

The 'rule' hasn't been proven yet, but I think the test is checking out the size of the dominant spur on each hind leg. I think it was males have spurs of the same size but females have spurs of different sizes. That's what the test is. To see if this is true.
