Congratulations! That was great. I am going to subscribe hoping you will keep us updated on how they are doing.

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 think it will take per bird once you are halfway proficient?

Thank you in advance--we're interested!

yes, apparently any bird will do. Roast capon is considered a fine food, fetching 40 or more dollars for a 13lb bird at specialty shops. I was told about 18 weeks till time and even then you dont have to butcher, they just keep getting better.

WOW, is all I have to say! Very interesting!!

I do have one question though, do they still crow after this procedure?

 

[Firemenlovechicks]

YES!!! Very interesting and informative! I have shied away from caponizing because i thought it would be too hard and not really worth the effort..... I am interested in seeing how these turn out. If it's worth the extra effort, It will DEFINITELY be on my to-do list!

Thanks for the pics!
