I saw some processed capons at Safeway last month. I know that once a rooster is a capon he turns hen-like.I haven't, but hear it is still popular to do in europe.
LOL. Young boys can't control their hormones or targets apparently.
Capons seem to be like the "fancy" upscale table fair as of recent, but they sure aren't cheap. Some say they taste better, are meatier, and have more flavor than "regular" chickens, but I think that initial comparison is done against your farm yard bird of the past. Any older bird will have more flavor than the meat birds that are commercially grown for like 6 weeks, and if those store capons are just castrated Cornish x's... their hormones have barely kicked in by slaughter time in the first place. LOL
Speaking of bird weights, what makes these JG's so amazing is that they are a healthy vibrant normal moving and running chicken that comes in at over 10lbs! The meat birds I've raised to over 10lbs at like 3 months old were just lazy lumps. These guys are huge AND act like yard birds! I do love how sweet the meat birds are and they will still come running, but their sad waddling over in excitement is both sad and funny at the same time.
Gorgeous Birds. Do you have many blue pullets? I just love the coloring on the Blues.Wynette's right! They are just shy of 7 months in those pics! However they are just a tad heavier than 7.5 and 8.5 lbs. As best as I could weigh them, one was 10.5, and the other was 11.5! So I just call them about 11lbs each! At just 7 months! They are going to be some monsters as adults! Wynette's got some HUGE stock!
Wynette, how heavy is your boy?
