Does anyone have experience caponizing roosters near Orlando, FL?

Not sure if it has already been said but you could make a ROOSTER PAD!!!

You will have to have 2 coop/ runs. One with all the hens and 1 of your favorite roos or the rooster you want to breed with, then the other coop you have all your roosters in. I know people that have 6-7 roosters in one coop, make sure the coop is big though and not to close to the hens coop and they should all be fine.
Roosters get aggressive when there are hens about, they fell the need to compete.

A rooster is a male chicken under 1 year old and a cockerel is over 1 year old.
Here in Australia we just call them roosters.

Hi I appreciate your help, but the rooster pad didn't work for me before. I had 12 roosters in the past. I was a Peta girl back then so lots of tears and I tired pretty much everything. Only 2 out of the 12 roosters were at all nice. In the end I got rid of them.

This time I am not naming them or getting attached so either they get neutered or they ending up stew. Sad I know but I am not dealing with any trouble this time.

I am however very glad the rooster pad method work for you. : )
