GRAPHIC PICS of my day learning to caponize

Sin duda dependerá de la cultura de cada zona , pais o region.
Para mi el principal motivo del caponaje es mejorar la calidad de la carne.
Para otros, según he leido en el foro, y al tener los pollos como mascotas, es para evitar que con sus cantos molesten a los vecinos.

Did you put the bird to sleep? I looked and my first thought was "Ouch" and I hope she was asleep...

This is probably a stupid question but what is caponizing?

Caponizing is removing the young roo's testes. This can be for better meat, (most meat farm animal males are castrated for better meat) or for quiet roos for yard art (they are so pretty) or b/c people live in town and can't have the crowing, buy their pet "hen" bought from a pullet box and now the kids favorite bird has suddenly announced himself as a boy.

Absolutely correct.

No these boys are not medicated to sleep. That is extremely dangerous for birds

A little pricey for me. $160 + $80 shipping. But it does look fabulous. Especially as inept as I am. lol

The birds do not have the same nervous system as humans. You would be surprised at how undisturbed some birds can seem. Once it is all over all they want is to eat!

To those who ordered tools:

Our package arrived!

I will repack individual orders and email invoices for shipping tonight. I hope to ship everything Monday morning, so tools should arrive in your mailbox Wednesday or Thursday.
