Guest guest Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 It's been pointed out that an older male chicken doesn't have the most desirable characteristics of table chicken. So what about, with a " farm breed " chicken, raising capons? Capons being castrated male chickens. All of our other fattened meat is pretty much castrated males, from pork to beef to lamb. I am guessing that a caponized, " traditional " chicken would be quite acceptable. I've eaten capon before and it does truly exceed the flavor of ordinary chicken IMHO. The last one I cooked was 8 pounds, awesome for a small holiday feast. Perhaps a different angle on a difficult subject. As a matter of fact, I think I'm going to look into this myself.
