    Effects of late caponization?

    I would love to hear back from people who had male chickens successfully caponized (castrated - with no 'slips') after they had started crowing. Has the surgery made an impact on their vocalizations over time? Did it impact their overall look, reversing some of their dimorphism (namely their...

    Keeping a neutered rooster for flock protection

    I did some research for a while this morning and I found quite a few articles about caponizing roosters. All of them seemed to be related to doing it for getting better meat out of the bird. They also all seemed to reference having to do it at a relatively young age, but did not specify why...

    Looking for someone to caponize our roo

    So I got an unexpected roo. But we're all attached to him now. He's 7 weeks and we want to caponize him (hey, it's better than being eaten). I do not want to learn how to do it myself. Any suggestions for vets or poultry breeders in No. California who would do it for me?

    Calling out capon owners

    This is a thread for people who own a capon (nueterd rooster) only.
