Okay, I don't know everything. I am new to chickens. I did not realize that a capon would gain weight more readily than a cock. Still I do see a difference between an external neutering and an internal caponizing. I would not be so much against it if it was done by a professional (vet) but, I have read many posts that speak of loss due to inexperience and people who suggest practicing on dead roosters. I myself would not be willing to do this for an extra pound or two of meat. Those who know what they are doing well, carry on but, if you are new to the game why practice and learn on your roosters without some real guidance?
