GRAPHIC PICS of my day learning to caponize

Even my slips are better than intact roos...

This one sure was good...that's for sure!

Everyone still healthy and happy after their "day". I did have some wind puff issues, but not as much as when I stitched the cut closed. And the little wind puff issues I had I did not have to go back and make another cut or prick, just used the semi-healed inscission worked perfectly.

This was my first time not stitching, I believe I will stick w/ this not stitching method, they healed just as fast w/o any complications at all.

I would imagine that with the Chinese retractor that you can make a smaller incision too......which helps with the healing process as well.

Yes, the Chinese retractor does allow for a smaller cut. I think all around better for the bird and the healing.

I made a picture of one of my 25 week old capons:



Sorry Kaussandra, but I am not a photographer.....LOL

I weighed him today and he is 8 pounds 3 ounces.

Hey BCMaraniac! How soon does this boy check out? He looks great! My Australorp goes soon...

So I take it the lack of 'nads suppresses the expression of copper? That is interesting... do you have pics of uncut boys from the same hatch?
