Quote:It's the same penalty as eating at KFC. You are free to administer your own punishment at a convenient time. Popular punishments include side dishes such as coleslaw or mashed potatoes.

Leave this thread and go back to lala land where chickens grow on trees and aren't harmed to provide your dinner. If you are a vegan/vegetarian disregard my last comment. Nobody is arrested for eating chicken therefore nobody can be arrested for mutilating a chicken.

Seems like we go thru cycles of having and getting rid of trolls, I have never liked trools since they bothered my billy goats..... lol
 
I don't think Jrsckn was being a "troll".
Jrsckn, it's not a felony to caponize your own birds. It's far more dangerous to administer anesthesia to a chicken. Caponizing takes mere minutes and there's no pain receptors inside the body cavity.
Blklangshandude, I don't eat my capons, I caponize for other personal reasons. Would you like me to leave also?
 
I think it was an older post, I remember responding to it some time ago, and I agree Ksane don't think they were trolling. This is an international group and I believe in some especially European countries it may be illegal. But as a farm animal in the U.S. it is perfectly legal.

@Ksane Thank you for calling out the response poster. I wanted to, but didn't feel it was my place! I didn't feel they were trolling only asking a question which someone should have a right to do, especially on this amazing thread.

I can't wait for Clinic!
 
No. Why would I want you to leave? You never pretended that caponizing a rooster was equivalent to giving your next door neighbor open heart surgery.
I guess you misunderstood what I was saying. Eating chickens is legal. That's all I was trying to say.
 
Man is this an interesting thread. Well, I went from page 1 to page 164 so forgive my questions:
My dad (90) told me that his mom had a chicken coop with hens and another one with capons, which were for sunday dinner.
So Iooked up capon and found that the europeans did this to make the eating better, but untill very recently never knew what a capon was.
Thanks for the tutorial with pictures.

Now my questions: Do they really not crow after the procedure? And if this is true, could I keep one with my hens and not be a problem? That would be way too cool.

Yes, they really don't crow after a successful caponizing (not a slip) yes they will look just like a roo w/ pretty feathers, the comb and wattles will not be bright or big though, they will not mount the hens and be unable to fertilize eggs.
