 | | Barked: Thu Nov 5, '09 9:01pm PST | |  | |  | | Ok, this is in response to Jess's post - Jess, I think the thing with a c you were thinking of was a capon - ie, a "neutered" rooster.
For some reason, Dogster won't let me say the word synonomous with neutered that starts with a C. Anyone know why? |  |  | |  |

People do it for the taste differences. | | | | |

| | Barked: Fri Nov 6, '09 12:05pm PST | | | | | | Ok - I found the answer for "how to neuter a rooster". Interesting but rather barbaric. The baby roosters aren't given any anesthesia and are strapped down, sliced open and the testicles removed.

| | Barked: Fri Nov 6, '09 12:27pm PST | | | | | | Okay... I had some hens once and a few roosters and wanted to neuter the roosters so they would be more friendly. Well, my vet and I (BOTH GREW UP ON RURAL FARMS!!!), searched and searched and searched all thru that poor rooster and couldn't find his testicles. He even looked it up in one of his vet books and we still couldn't find them. We ended up castrating them chemically.
Castrated capons!!! Hey, it lets me say it! Anyway, it worked fine. | | | | |

| | Barked: Fri Nov 6, '09 12:32pm PST | | | | | | And... apparently lots of capons used for people food are castrated chemically. There was a rumor going around the dogs shows about 15 years ago that if you fed Bill Jac your male dogs would become sterile because they used the parts of capons for one of their poultry sources and the chemicals were still there. I don't know if it was true or not, but one of my good friends had two young male labs become sterile and she fed Bill Jac. Their testicles slowly shrunk and they had no sperm at all. Makes you wonder. | | | | |
