How We Handle Our Capons 
(Continued from page 51+7) 
the chicks better than a hen and keep 
them warmer as they are covered with a 
down. Give them plenty of feed, green 
stuff and fresh water and most important, 
buttermilk from the start, and they won’t 
be stunted. We think it is best to keep 
them in coops with south open front and 
a good sized park, until they are nearly 
feathered, especially the early ones. 
The Best Size 
When the young roosters weigh from 
one to two pounds and before they 
develop comb and wattles, they are 
ready to be worked on. We pen them 
for 24 hours without food or water* but 
plenty of fresh air. This is necessary so 
the intestines will be eippty. Then 
sterilize your instruments which should 
consist of a sharp knife, rib spreader, 
testicle remover and probe-hook. They 
Spreaders in position and organ revealed 
will cost you about five dollars. We use 
an old dry goods box upon end for operat¬ 
ing table. A weight on a string is 
attached around both feet and one on a 
string around both wings to hold the bird 
in place. You are now ready to make a 
three dollar capon out of a thirty cent fry. 
How Operation Is Performed 
Pluck the few feathers from over the 
last two ribs; take the knife in the right 
hand and press firmly, making the incision 
between the last two ribs. Insert the rib 
spreader and spread the ribs far enough 
apart to give you room to work- Take 
the hook and tear the thin membrane 
which covers the intestines, if they are in 
the way, press them back until you can 
see the small yellow testicle resting near 
the backbone. Remove the hook and 
insert the remover and get the testicle in 
the instrument, give it two or three 
twists and pull out far enough to sever 
with the knife. Be sure to get all of the 
testicle or you will have a “slip.” Now 
remove the rib-spreader, turn the bird 
over and repeat the operation on the 
other side. Take weights off the bird, 
water it, then feed it and turn it into a 
park or large pen for a few days. 
Heavy Breeds Best 
In case the comb and wattles keep on 
developing you have failed to get all of 
the testicle and will have a slip instead of 
a capon. A slip will grow very large and 
be much more tender than a rooster. 
Leghorn roosters can be worked, but will 
not grow as large as the heavier breeds. 
Leghorns get to weigh six or seven pounds 
and are very tender. 
A good capon should weigh from ten to 
fourteen pounds and to bring a good price 
should weigh as much as eight pounds.
