castrate a rooster

[donrae]

I agree he's not a comet, but if he's crowing then he's definitely a rooster. If you post a pic, we can ID what breed he is, and that may help him find a good home. I'm never too optimistic about finding homes for cockerels, but the fact is you never know who may be looking for a new rooster in your area

. If you put your general location in your profile, someone here may be interested.

16 weeks does increase the risk for the cockerel. Sorry my information didn't help you. However, caponizing is a lost art in this country. However, in other countries youngster are 'neutered' on a regular basis in very primitive conditions. You Tube has some eye-opening videos of chicks being caponized in assembly-line fashion. Yikes!

There are sme threads on here about caponizing cockerels. It is actually making a huge come back in the US.

Thank you all so much for all your help with my little guy. I guess now I need to find him a good home. He's lived an organic, range-free, no vaccines, happy life. I hope I can help him to continue that way. Thanks again.

Anyone want a Buff Orpington Rooster? Free to a good home.

By the way, how do I complete my profile?
