Quote: how? are males different looking than females at birth?

Quote: Sorry I have not been on to comment in a while. YES! I got some serious wind puffage that I had to take care of. At first glance it just looked like they were getting fat, but then I picked them up to move them into their new coop and boy howdy did they have some air under there. I...

Quote: ebay, they should be less than half an inch.

There a chick... : Thanks for the pictures! I might have to consider this in the future since I am really good at hatching cockerals! Thats awesome! Now you have something to do with them!

Quote: 35 lb

Just a loop, no figure 8. It works by putting the loop over the testicle and pulling back on the line, closing the loop into the straw. It grabs the testicle and pulls it off. The point of doing this is to remove the testicles before testosterone has any say in how the bird matures, so doing...

Quote: Im going to be completely honest with you because I have read literature that said that the surgery doesn't hurt the bird. They didn't seem like they were in excruciating pain but you could tell it hurt. People that say it doesn't hurt them are full of it but when faced with the other...

Quote: I've heard conflicting stories about this and since this is my first ever time doing it I can't tell you either way. I seem to think that it may reduce the crowing but not eliminate it. the only way to do that is to have it professionally done I think.

Makes my day that all of you could get something from this. Thanks for all of the kind words!

Quote: I will do so! I cant wait to see how they do... and how they taste!

Quote: lol no I got greedy!

Quote: It is ancient, but that doesn't mean it won't work! When you say that they grow bigger, faster, and tastier than a cornish x, do you mean that the standard breeds (buff orp, australorp, etc) will put on weight faster and taste better than a cornish? And about how much time do you...

Quote: I actually used a large wrench for the wing with twine and a clamp and for the other, twine and another wrench with a keychain caribeener hooked to their legs.

Quote: That is why I posted this. I've been searching for weeks with only a few good pics and no good videos. I pretty much figured that if you want something done you have to do it yourself. Caponizing has been treated as ancient and only for the experts but its not true! I have never done...

Quote: no, you stretch the stomach skin toward the back leg to off center the cut. when the skin is released, it springs back to its original position and closes over the slice in the gut, not requiring sutures. then the thighs cover the top cut.

They grow bigger, fatter and more tasty than the best cornish x ever would. They have no aggression and can even go broody on chicks. No fighting, good foster mothers safe to be around kids and make a fine holiday replacement for turkey? why not?

I did it finally! I caponized the partridge rock packaging peanuts I received from Ideal Poultry exactly 1 month ago to the day. I had 9 peanuts and one Red Laced White Cornish that I had no idea what to do with, so I did what any rational human being would do, I knifed em'! Here are my...
