No need to cut on both sides, lay the bird on his right side, make a small incision between the last two ribs facing his rear end, cut the skin only, spread the incision, pierce the membrane and pull the memebrane apart as much as needed, the testicles are high on the back bone in front of the kidneys, twist them off with the tool provided in your kit or pull them off with long tweezers, don't try to cut them off, douse the incision with listerine and let him go.
