Why Castrate a Rooster
You ask why you would castrate a rooster? Castrating a rooster sounds like an unusual practice if you're not used to keeping chickens, but it used to be extremely common. Once it has been castrated, the rooster is referred to as a capon, and becomes more docile and much fatter, making it a better bird for eating. Capons are still available in poultry markets, but they're fairly hard to find. The flesh tastes much better, and is preferred by people who really love chickens. Caponization is done when the rooster is quite young. It causes the capon not to develop the traits we commonly associate with roosters. The comb and wattles stay small, leaving the capon with a smaller head than most roosters. The back and tail feathers are also somewhat shorter.
