    Help me name my Sapphire Gem!

    It’s normally easy for me to come up with names, but I can’t for the life of me find a name for my new pullet... I’d wanted something that plays off her gray color but I got nothin’. For reference, my other fluff butts are named Rose, Sophia, Blanche, Evangeline, and Lottie. Help!

    Is it realistic to caponize a pet “illegal” cockerel?

    Yes, I’m definitely thinking about this. I don’t want to be selfish and turn him into a capon if he’s not going to benefit.

    Haha I don’t know about cute... he sounded like a strangled moped...

    Without anesthesia??! That’s horrible! I don’t think I could do that. He hasn’t crowed yet, but I’m pretty sure I’ve heard him trying and failing.

    It’s not the fertile eggs, it’s that roosters aren’t allowed where I live specifically because of crowing. So... yeah.

    I definitely will. I am so lucky to have an exotics vet nearby (I have no idea how chickeNs somehow became “exotics” just because we’re in an urban area), so hopefully they’ll be able to give some good advice.

    Ah, now that would definitely be a problem.

    Is it realistic to caponize a pet “illegal” cockerel?

    I don’t know... I didn’t understand if you were saying that it’s worse than for dogs or other animals, and that’s part of why you don’t recommend it.

    He’d have a bunch of chickens with him for company. They already get along really well.

    Is it realistic to caponize a pet “illegal” cockerel?

    I haven’t been able to find someone willing to take him - it seems like everyone is full up with roosters right now. In what way would it be disabling him? Is there a bigger/more problematic response than for dogs, bulls, etc.?

    Is it realistic to caponize a pet “illegal” cockerel?

    A couple of days ago I ended up with a cockerel instead of a pullet, and roosters are illegal in my area. This little guy is so sweet I really don’t want to send him back to the farm or have him be slaughtered. He’s 2 - 3 months old. Opinions on if this a humane procedure and if it will keep...
