Plan to Caponize for Better Cockerel Returns
A Successful Farming writer advises on caponizing cockerels. For light breeds like Leghorns, market as broilers around 1.25 pounds. Heavier breeds such as Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, and Wyandottes may fetch from a dealer or private broiler market at two to 2.5 pounds, or be held to become four-pound small roasters. Caponizing near one to 1.25 pounds is advised if a private capon trade exists, as it often yields 8 to 12 cents per pound more than roasters. Continuous private trade presence or absence should guide decision.
