I'm about 99% sure that was not a chicken spur, probably a chicken shank or rib. Reasons:

  1. Chickens feet are cut off by both old fashioned processing and mechanical chicken processing plants. Socking ie removing the feet skin followed by feet being cut off.

  2. A Roosters spurs don't appear looking like spurs until they are 7+ months old and most chickens are culled in plants between 2 and 6 months old.

  3. Roosters are rarely grown for meat in small farms and pretty much never in industrial chicken plants like Costco's.

I grew up on a chicken farm... Ya'll just need to cook chicken correctly if salmonella worries you lol.

Idk, sure looked like it to me. Around an inch long, slightly curved and thornlike. Definitely wasn’t bone, it had a little squishiness to it.
