If the crop of the capon becomes full of any fibrous material which will not pass through it, the bird will become weak and die due to lack of feed. Feed cannot pass through a bound crop. So range capons only if they are fed granite or insoluable grit. Feed capons only enough grower feed that they can clean up in 2 hours when on range, and keep fresh pure water available to capons at all times. Crop binding can be prevented through good management of birds. Wagons Hay Racks Manure Spreaders Calf Hutches
