If you noticed I said a 10% chance of death; the vet told me that and said that was too high for his liking. He was honest. Of course I expect to pay for his expetience, knowledge and time. I am not pursuing rehoming because the people told us if the roosters don't work out they kill them. Their lives are of value and we as owners are responsible for their safety.
Please know that these 3 boys (especially this one) are being extremely rough on the girls and I feel it is my duty to help my hens! This is not an emotional whim! I am trying to keep him alive at the same tim e. Do you have the same anger at the ones who do the caponizing without anesthesia? This little man will feel nothing!
You don't have to justify yourself to anyone here. We understand why you're pursuing this action, even if some disapprove. You keep doing you.
Yup...and it's hot topic and is gonna bring out the ranters...just try to ignore them @Granitestater.
And you can "ignore" users altogether, too, if you feel that's necessary. If you click on their avatars, you can click "Ignore," and you won't see their posts at all.
Agreed with @AsaDotJava. If your roos are being too rough on your hens, separate them. It will cost a lot less and be much safer than caponizing.
Sorry for the confusion.Thank you
Haha I actually had to Google to see if you were referring to a chicken breed! I didn't even know there was one called Java... I'm slowly learning that there a ton more breeds out there than the "standard" ones I grew up with!
Alas, my screenname is uncreative - it is just my name lol Java is the first part of my last name.
