Caponization of a rooster is done in two ways:

  • Surgical removal of the testes which are in the abdominal cavity
  • Implantation of an estrogen capsule.
The age at caponization is 2 - 4 weeks. A good technician can do 200 birds an hour. Caponing is banned in the UK (animal welfare) but still available in the US and Canada.

Capon production in the US is limited to the Wapsie Produce Company in Iowa. They produce around a million birds for the gourmet and specialty markets.
