Exactly. You're not wasting anything by caponizing, you're preventing future strife in the flock and improving the flavor and texture of your meat. I've heard that capons are actually really sweet, and while I loved my roos, I'd rather not have to deal with such drama kings in the future.

It's a very old method. I honestly can't believe we stopped doing it. Not really, they don't want extra cockerels and checking by opening the body cavity is a surefire way to tell genders. Having an extra cockerel could just result in extra trauma for the pullets who have to endure overbreeding...

Yes, let's see how tough you are and how not tough I am🤣

That actually seems harder to me than chicken slitting. Snipping the whole head off of such a teeny bird vs cutting and bleeding a big fatso is more difficult for some reason😭🙈

I will never keep cockerels intact ever again. Especially when this method can make them taste better.

Eat em. Caponize em. Or start a bachelor flock.
