Eburger-- Just a note that Dr James has a variety of roosters that have already had the procedure done, you can buy one from him directly. I personally think that's a better idea, it's certainly less expensive overall. I'm the one who wrote the long opus about my journey with our roo up to see Dr James and how grateful and happy we are that we got it done. Dr James has a very strong affinity for chickens and seems to have a knack for socializing excellent roosters-- he also does not tolerate aggression and would never pass along a roo without an excellent temperament. He is also very willing to talk with people about what they are looking for in a rooster and choosing accordingly. One indication of just how good he is-- he's got a pen with a large number of roosters all together, and they DO NOT FIGHT.
But yes, Dr James told me, and has written here, that if he hadn't seen the procedure done and learned from the originator of it (your same vet), he wouldn't feel confident to do it. It's extremely delicate.
