The older the bird, the harder the removal of his testicles is on him. If I see labored breathing, a blue tint appearing on the comb, or any other sign of stress, I err on the side of caution when I’m working on someone’s pets. Two surgeries over a period of two weeks means the pet owner gets his/her bird back, and not in a freezer bag. Good luck with your cockerels. I hope you are able to find someone close by with experience who can help you learn to caponize.My old poultry book explains how to caponize. As I remember, it tells you how to get both testicles at once. One operation. One incision. Both testicles. I have never had the nerve to try it myself. I plan on getting a few Jersey Giants for pets this spring and I have been thinking about caponizing a cockerel or two. I'll have to dig out the book and see what it says. In any event, congratulations!!
I've seen similar tools online, have to look around to see. EBay has one with that style spreader. I like the Angry birds pencil case you sent mine in though, Lol!I want to have a clinic this summer, but my guy in China has not answered recent email
Just hauled out my book. My edition is from the middle '50's and it was written for the commercial producer. It says to caponize when the birds are two weeks old and the testicles are the size of a grain of wheat. I think this was before the CornishX were developed and caponizing was the way to go to produce a plump meat bird. It also has a section on using hormones to produce a meat bird instead of caponizing. This last was new to me.The older the bird, the harder the removal of his testicles is on him.

I just checked the link. That’s the Shinan large rooster set. The rib dialator would break a six-week-old chick in half.I've seen similar tools online, have to look around to see. EBay has one with that style spreader. I like the Angry birds pencil case you sent mine in though, Lol!
