Ok, read the article. Figures my mother knew about them and would roast one every now and then, she was from Normandy. The French did a lot of clipping male chicks. The main drawback I see to raising them commercially is they take longer to grow than a hen which can be as little as 6 weeks. They are less aggressive than a regular rooster and can be kept with other capons. Bigger and tastier than a regular chicken. Maybe a cottage industry. I would be a customer.
