In farm animals intended for food, roosters can be neutered when they are a few weeks old. These birds are then called capons instead of roosters. Here at Texas Avian & Exotic Hospital, almost all of our chicken patients are pets so we don’t caponize (neuter) young birds intended as food. Sometimes we must caponize a rooster for a medical reason, and we use general anesthesia and pain medications. The testes are inside the body cavity and in adult roosters the surgery is risky, invasive and painful unless managed properly. Therefore, we do not routinely neuter pet roosters.
I'll do it for a 12 pack.
