The decomposition steps of castrating a cockerel ((GRAPHIC PICS!!!))

[garp94]

how old are the capons when you process them?

Thank-you for this great thread

This might be a silly question but do you close up the opening via stitches or what? You don't just leave it open do ya?

Also, how does one know you have a boy at 3 weeks? Knowing me, if I ever tried this, I'd end up with a gal and spend an hour looking for something that just wasn't there... lol

Were the pics removed? I can't see them.

Never mind, I'm at the computer at work which is slow, they are there they just didn't load the first time.

Fascinating! I have always wondered how to do it. Are both testicles in the same location, right next to each other? Maybe I will practice on a dead Roo.

I'm sorry. I mean: how long do you grow them before they are killed for food? [are they big enough to be processed at 8 months or 12, or does it vary ?]

I processed mine at 20 weeks. Ameraucanas.

I was thinking the whole point of caponizing was to process them older and bigger, but still tender (and w/o the crow)? Is there a specific reason you processed so young?
