I wish you success with your caponization efforts, don't "chicken out" now! How big were the testicles you removed? In the young cockerels I did at around 10 weeks of age they were still very small, about the size of a small dried bean. They were fragile, I had to be careful when grabbing them with the forceps. The forceps I have are just about the size & width of the testicle, I can grab the entire organ with the ends of this tool. I did have one whose testicle came apart & had to be removed in 2 pieces. If your birds' parts are any bigger then they may be much older.
