I have a hen who is around 6-7 years old. We've had her for 2 years and the woman who we got her from said she was around 5. Anyway, back in October, she started sitting down on occasion like she was tired. She would still eat and move around but sit more than she should. We took her to the vet...

My roos were both 6 months old. However, my vet did do one when it was one year old. He came through fine and is still doing well over a year later. That client had decided to do it at a year because of how aggressive he became towards her elderly mother. After the procedure the roo was back to...

My vet has only done 3 roos. The first didn't make it but she knew where she went wrong. The second one she did was one year old. Her client needed it done due to the aggression he had. She had an elderly mom who the roo was attacking. This room lost all aggression and is back to sitting on her...

Update....Pip, the roo that crowed is now crowing the none dying down crow he was doing right out of surgery. He is only crowing in the mornings. Has yet to crow during the day which he did all the time. So, it's an improvement. His crow is more quiet but I'm not sure if the neighbors will hear...

They have become less flighty. Our one roo flew up on everything, perching on the swing set, bbq, always up on something. Since being caponized he just stays on the ground foraging. He seems to have lost the need to be up on everything. The other roo is only flighty when he gets spooked by...

Thank you. It's really amazing. My kids held our aggressive one tonight for the first time in two months. They were kissing him, loving on him and carrying him around. It's so good to have him back.

Hi, I agree with it taking longer but honestly we are only 7 days post surgery as of today and both roos are leaving each other alone and my kids held the previously aggressive one tonight. They were loving on him, kissing him and just carrying him around. My six year old daughter was so very...

Are you located in Northern or Southern Cali? My vet is willing to caponize more roosters. I am located in Northern California near Sacramento. If you aren't too far from that and would want to have your pet roos done I could share her info with you. Let me know.

Hi, I was encouraged to start a thread on my story. I ended up with two roos from my daughters Kindergarden class last year. By the time we found out they were roos we were in love with them. We began a long search of how to stop the crowing. Only one (Pip) was crowing. We live in town with a no...

Are you looking for someone like a vet to do the procedure? Or are you looking for say a farmer to do it for meat birds? I'm in CA and just had two of my roos done last week by a vet because they are our pets.

Hi, no I didn't caponize them myself. My vet had done two other roos in the past. The first died on the table but she was successful with the second. She said she knew where she went wrong the first time. She did a lot of research prior to doing this. She watched you tube videos on the...

Hi, thank you for all the questions about my neutered roos. I happy to answer because I know there is a lot of interest in this subject and not a whole lot of information out there about it. We live in town and can't have roos. Of course we had hoped for hens and by the time we found out that...

Hi, and thank you. That is one reason why I joined the forum. When our first chick turned out to be a roo we were devastated. We were already in love with him and when trying to find him a home that wouldn't eat him failed I started looking for alternatives. We live in the city so no roos...

Hi, and thank you. My daughters kindergarten class last year hatched chicks and ducks. Only one duck hatched and no one wanted it so we took it along with one chick to keep it company. We had two free roaming hens already so a couple more birds would be great. As time went on our chick turned...

Hi, I am new to this group but have read numerous posts about various things. I have one hen, a duck and two roosters who just got neutered 2 days ago so I guess you could call them half roos lol. I love my backyard flock amongst many other pets we have which include a dog, many cats, bird and a...
