        Now, I know that "capon" isn't strictly accurate for a duck, or is it?


Well, ducks is not me area of specialty, but I know that the word "gallinaceous" refers to both chickens and turkeys (and pheasant, I think)--basically, land-bound fowl. Ducks are something different altogether, so I'd say that ducks are never 'capons.' (Probably turkeys aren't either...a friend used to raise turkeys, and he never used the word.)

birds (female AND male)
have internal genitalia...


They do, but you can still castrate a rooster. I'm not sure of the exact procedure, but it's done.

so I would think castrating a duck would be a pretty darn hard thing to do.


True. Especially the ones with crossbows. <grin>
