| A capon is a rooster whose reproductive organs have been removed at a young age (caponization). Typically, the castration is performed when the chicken is between 6 and 20 weeks old.As a result of caponization, a capon becomes much more mellow, losing the aggression commonly associated with roosters. This makes capons easier to handle, and also changes the way in which their meat matures. Capons have more tender, fatty flesh because they are not as active as roosters are. They also tend to taste less gamy, because they do not develop sex hormones, which can impact the flavor of the flesh. In addition, their bodies undergo small physical changes, including the development of a smaller head, comb, and wattle. Around the farmyard, a capon is much safer than a rooster, because the birds are not aggressive. Capons can also be kept together without the issue of potential fighting. In the kitchen, roast capon is moist, flavorful, and very tender since the flesh starts out tender and the higher fat content acts as a natural basting agent. A high quality capon has a dramatically different flavor than traditional roast chicken. The industrialization of meat production has made capons rare. Chicken breeds that are raised for meat are engineered to mature quickly, so that they can be sent to market in as little as five weeks. This rapid development has an impact on the overall flavor and quality of the meat which most consumers are not even aware of as they have never tasted more naturally raised meat. A capon raised in industrial conditions will taste similar to conventional meat, making the process rather pointless. The caponization of poultry is banned in the United Kingdom on animal welfare grounds, though the meat itself is not illegal |
