    How to caponize a rooster Warning Graphic pics

    That would totally depend on the age and maturity of the bird. 3 months old they may be a fava bean size where at 6 mo. a kidney bean size. I have tried many ages and found that the recomended 6-8 weeks is far too young as they are not developed enough to see at all.

    And the main concern the state has is the MS and MG. These will triger a response from the state to cull your flock.

    Whole flock infected

    You go for it! Everyone needs to know what the ground rules are. The state told me(Florida) that this used to be a hatchery problem but they have all instituted the all in all out policy and they also vacinate for everything. Many of those vacines are not even available for the general...
