A male chicken is neutered at a very early age, surgically. The testes are clipped at between 2 to 4 weeks of age. Using a sharp scalpel a 1 inch incision is made between the the two posterior ribs through the dorsal wall. The testes are about the size of a rice grain and both need to be removed otherwise they can grow back. This procedure has been banned in many countries but those that still allow it sell capons to countries that may not legally produce such birds.
