It is also common for inexperienced handlers to kill their roosters when trying to caponize. Infection is a huge risk. The testicals are deep in the back bone area. The insicion through the ribs doesn't leave much room to find the testicals. Some people have even removed the kidneys by mistake.
As much as I prefer a capon, and have one in my freezer now thanks to my mother-in-law, it is not a risk I am willing to take.
