    Caponizing turkeys?

    So we ended up with too many damn toms, who would have guessed! The problem is is that my mom doesn't want to cull them all. They're all under a year old, but just about full grown. And the boys are FIGHTING!!! also to no one's surprise. Is caponizing adult turkeys a thing? Can it be done...

    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?

    Poulardizing / Caponizing
