I don't mean to butt in, but I just wanted to offer the advice to only do this on young small birds. I don't know anyone that can caponize/castrate a full grown roo. There's just too much of an advanced blood supply then, and they tend to bleed to death very easily.I'm with you! I would love to learn, but the thought of experimenting on a live bird with no one to help me gives me the willies. I don't want to just muddle through without someone to tell me what I am doing wrong. Also, the birds that I can practice on have been the ones I was butchering, and they have huge testes. I want to caponize them young, and it is a lot different working on a 6-pound bird than a 1-pound bird.
