Maybe I got the introduction and posting mixed up. I found the site while I actually searching for info about capons. A huge concern among vegan activists, is the indiscriminate killing of male chicks, in the egg industry. The reason is because egg layer breeds take longer to reach dispatch...
I'm considering getting a couple of duck to help clean a small pond. I'm also considering a few hens, and housing in a tractor. Seeking compatibility and suggestions.
Technically they wouldn't be cut OFF, but OUT, as they are internal. Actually it could benefit by becoming quite the hen's rooster, aka capon(ladies man[if not fast]). As roosters can really tear a hen up when mating.
