Permaculture - Eggs & Roosters

in homesteading •  7 years ago 

I just got a mixed breed flock and am LOVING the different colored eggs we're getting! Blue, peach, tan, brown, white...so much fun! I never knew about castrating roosters. We got two roosters in the batch we got (check out my post on it for more info) but one is a bantam. The bantam crows, but the bigger guy is totally a pushover...and I've never heard him crow. I wonder if we have a capon?

    hey there aibell, capons only happen if they were operated on at a young age. You might have a hermaphrodite, which is not unheard of in the bird world.

    I wouldn't put it past her to have had him operated on. One of the hen's name is Kevin, who my friend took to the vet to have her toe amputated when she got bit by a rat...
