Dear Fred, I spend hours watching chicken and poultry videos. I have multiple books on hand at all times and subscribe to a poultry magazine. This video was the most well thought out, complete informational resource I have ever come across. Thank you for filling in all the blanks. This was truly amazing. I daresay even experienced keepers will benefit from this. Thank you, thank you!

Hi Fred, currently watching this whilst our eggs are in the incubator! Was just wondering your chicken at 2:51 what breed is it as we have just gained a chick that looks identical to this one but not 100% on breed other then being a bantam 😊

So does anyone still raise capons? It would seem to be the best way to deal with excess cockerels. I guess that will be the next YT search....

HI James... capons were an obvious way to rear meat birds through the ages and even children were encouraged to do that for extra money. "A Child's Guide to Capons" was published by the Dept. of Ag. It's a process that has outraged many chicken "lovers" and PETA will march on your property if they get word that it is being done. Compared to the poultry INDUSTRY practices, caponizing wouldn't get much press. I think those who continue to do that are well underground with that practice. A capon rooster is gentle and doesn't harass hens and gains more weight (because he's not running around sparring and mating) than other roosters of the same breed. So, if someone wanted a rooster to live it's life out without causing "problems" caponizing is better than the hatchet ("> Thanks for bringing this topic up!

PETA thinks humans should feed the animals, and I'm not talking about pouring it out on the ground either. They think we all ought to go running through the jungle with BBQ sauce on. LOL(sorta).
Castration is done to about every "pet", except maybe fish, that humans keep, so why not. I know about it because...[sinister music here] I was a meat cutter for many years. Hanging beef and chickens from a wooden box, packed with ice. You wanted parts; you cut up a whole bird/cow.
I received from a neighbor 9 hens and 1 "Rodney", all laying. I have discovered so many things that they do that most of us don't associate with chickens. For instance, Rodney with call the hens if he finds a large spot of food, he will call the hens. He will wait for the hens to eat before he eats much. When I give him a large piece of something he will place it on the ground and call the hens. I guess it's the ol' I can't eat anything that has a name. :-)
