What sickness????

Sick birds on the show floor. People selling birds with obvious signs of respiratory diseases. I don't know if people just don't care or pay so little attention to their birds that they don't know.

I went to the show on Sat. morning, but rode my bike so then wouldn't be tempted to bring anything/body home with me. My buddy said I could probably get one in each saddlebag. I did mention BYC to several people and they had heard of it, but weren't members. Saw lots of very cool chickens.
The thing that I noticed is how BIG some of the chickens were. Mine are quite small in comparison. I'm mostly thinking about the buff orpington hens. Man those things were huge! Mine are approx 16 wks old.

So, here is my question: Does anyone here caponize? I'd love to have a rooster, but this would be the only option.

Why would you need it caponized?

 

[EagleEyes]

Simple, so it doesn't crow and I could have it in town.

 

[BayBay Peepers]

Oh, I see. Does caponizing guarantee he will not crow?

My chickens overheard me talking about having a party! Hahaha! This is Elsa and she is always curious and is so photogenic!

People in the know on the "Caponizing" thread say yes. And of course I myself have to rely on someone who does know.


Don't tell you chicken, but mine had chicken and left over rice for breakfast.

Interesting. You learn something new every day.
