After caponizing the bird should be given plenty of soft feed and water.

CAPONIZING.-Thecastration or caponizing of the male chicken is commonly practised in certain localities.

After caponizing, feed the bird what soft feed he will eat up and let him have plenty of water.

In Banawi of the Quiangan area, south of Bontoc, one may find large capons, but Bontoc does not understand caponizing.

Size is equally important as age, and a bird to be caponized should not weigh more than one and a half pounds.
