EspañolCAPON
A plucked capon with its feet and tail feathers still attached.
A 'capon' is a rooster (a male chicken) whose reproductive functions were removed at a young age. Typically the castration is performed when the chicken is between 6 and 20 weeks old.
The benefits are a non-aggressive male that can serve as a mother for baby chicks. They also produce ample, tender meat when butchered and as such are a choice poultry meat in some locales.
Due to the high fat content, they are self-basting.

The caponisation of poultry is banned in the United Kingdom on animal welfare grounds, though the meat itself is not illegal.
