Ok, am punting after rereading 99-127. What is current best practice for withholding water and food. I am somewhat concerned as it is late in the season to do this - and probably hitting 100 outside already. Separated my hens and roos today. Have 13 boys from my first hatch awaiting the operation.
I withhold food about 36 hours and water for 12. I have done them in the hot summer like this, and just try and keep them in total shade and give each one water immediately that one is finished. Depending on how many you are doing I have brought them in the house to wait out their time (the day of the procedure, not for the whole fast)
