Capon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A capon is a rooster (a male chicken) whose testicles were removed at a young age. Typically the castration is performed when the chicken is between 6 and 20 weeks old.
The benefits are a non-aggressive male that can serve as a mother for baby chicks. They also produce ample, tender meat when butchered and as such are a choice poultry meat in some locales.
Capons taste great due to the high fat content, they are self-basting.
Capons, as a foodstuff, are banned in the United Kingdom.
