How to Close The Wound After Caponizing/Neutering a Rooster

Video showing how to stitch up the wound after caponizing/neutering a chicken. ​NOTE: We do not caponize/neuter roosters at Chicken Heaven On Earth. If caponizition is needed due to over aggressiveness toward people or if the rooster wants to fight all the time, or over mating with hens, ​we take our roosters to a licensed veterinarian to perform the procedure and do not recommend that you perform this surgery yourself.
