    Capons

    Pigs and calves are castrated all of the time without anesthesia. When I saw it done, it didn’t appear that it was bad, but I’m sure they could feel it?

    Capons

    I wouldn’t mind paying someone to do it for me, just finding someone that knows how is the problem.

    Cornish cross hatching eggs?

    If you have commercial growers in your area you could possibly get eggs from a breeder farm, they are not supposed to give away or sell eggs other than the co they are contracted with but some do.

    Capons

    I don’t, but would love to learn how. Capons used to be a thing, our county fair even had a capon show category, my brother showed them. They grow so fast and get really big. I bet it would work really good with dual purpose heritage cockerel’s.

    suggest me best incubitor

    Time will tell, like growing dual purpose birds, I can give the pullets to whoever keeps me supplied with eggs, and I can process the cockerels. The ones I raised were free ranging for a while and I didn’t put the feed to them like I would if I wanted to grow them out fast.

    How many eggs do you want to hatch at a time? How much do you want to spend? I have two nurture right 360 incubators and one maticoopx 30, I have done well with these. NR holds 22 chicken eggs and the maticoopx holds 30. The NR were a little more expensive but all are affordable.

    Brown Leghorn Pullets and Cockerels for sale. Greensburg, Kentucky

    Brown leghorn roosters are beautiful, my brother had an abundance of them and I butchered them for him, I hated processing those beautiful birds. The hens are extremely good layers also.

    Brinsea hatching mat material

    I use shelf liner in my NR 360 and my maticoopx 30, I have had good hatches in all of them. I would definitely replace the cardboard.
