Is this a Black Copper, Ashandvine? If so, of course she's overmelanized.
You have to make an incision be tween the lower two ribs, spread them apart and remove the testicles from inside the abdomen. It takes practice to become proficient, but it lets you grow out a larger, more tender bird. This is usually done at 6-8 weeks of age, although I have done it on 4 week old birds as long as I could tell for certain they were roos.I have turned the roo's into fryers. How do you caponize a bird, sounds difficult to do! I would love to try it.
That's great that you can get so much for them in your area - around here, cull cockerels sell for MAYBE $3 each. Awesome for you!!
