Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

[BayBay Peepers]

So I looked into this caponizing a little bit. Are you sure it's even legal in Wisconsin?

yes it's legal in WI

I did a bunch of research a couple winters ago meat production was my goal,,,, I figure I would want someone to show me how to do it for best success. In WI I know the Amish are who I would contact if I lived in an area where there were any,,,,,

and if done early (before hormones kick in) they don't crow

you're kidding, right ?

 

[BayBay Peepers]

No I wasn't. I was reading and it says it's not legal in a lot of places. It was just a simple question excuse me for being curious.

 

[wyoDreamer]

It was a valid question.

Not sure where it is illegal, but it is always better to ask before just assuming and getting into trouble about it. Chickens are livestock so fall under different rules than pet ownership.

I might have spoken from old info prior to 2010 at least caponizing was legal in WI,,,,a person should really check it out, it could be you need a picture ID now or DNR permit. We certainly wouldn't want any fraudulent caponizers in the state

I certainly agree , Dan, we wouldn't want any chicken outlaws running around , eh ?

it lust seems to me that caponizing is no different than castrating a bull, horse, dogs, cats, etc,,
and I do believe that some hatcheries offer that service ??
so would it be illegal for the hatcheries to ship capons to the outlaw states ? alive or dead ?
how about the ones in the freezer compartments in the stores ?
I have not bought a chicken for decades, so I do not know if they still advertise capons.
I know many years ago it was the rage ,,

Hi all!

Theo decided to play with the chickens yesterday as well...my dad scolded and beat him a bit. He asked if we could get a rubber chicken to keep in the coop, so to smell like chicken, and beat him with that if he does it again. What do you all think?

For me, I don't need a roo around enough to caponize it or put a collar on it. Both seem like a cruel method of keeping a bird alive. I'd rather have it live it's fully intended life or kill it off and eat it. JMO

I'm also sick. Been having trouble breathing and am using an inhaler. I'm thinking allergies.

Oh, the sore on Theo's foot is finally healing. I took him to the vet 2 days ago and they gave him anti-biotics & anti-inflammatory to take internally as well as an ointment to heal it from the outside. Today it looked noticeably better and less swollen!

I don't think there is much of a difference. Like I said, it just popped up while researching. I tried to look under Wisconsin law specifically, but didn't find anything clear yet. I could care less what you people do with your livestock it was just an inquiry.

Where is it illegal to make a rooster a capon? Even the Humane Society states there are no state of federal regulations prohibiting caponizing.
