In researching the subject that has been my experience also, a lot of varied and conflicting info on when to actually perform the caponizing.

how do you pronounce capon? is it cApon, like a "caper" or CaPON like a "cap" gun?

I'm from the Southern US so I hope I'm not misleading you but I pronounce it like caper.

Right or wrong, I pronounce it "kay-pawn".

 

[KatyTheChickenLady]

Sorry for the lack of updastes. Our weather has been horrific and unfortunately the flock seems to be afflicted with some kind of disease. I've lost 7 to it. And 3 to predators. I have a call in to the TVMDL to get the bodies necropsied, but I am planning to caponize a few of the healthy ones today and do a weigh in.

I DID IT!!! I have done 2. The first one I could not find the 2nd doo dad but I decided he's had enough time on the table so he only had 1 excracted. The second one went really smoothly. I found both testicles from the left side but I could not quite get to teh lower one. So I did it from the other side. Taking a break for my nerves...
