Sweetie, do some research on this decrowing thing. I hear that there is a high mortality rate for this. And you would still be out the hundreds of dollars for each.

There is a local to Eastern Oklahoma vet who does this surgery, he has a great success rate and many happy, quiet roo owners. It is a very delicate, tedious surgery, but in the hands of a competent (and skilled in THIS procedure) vet, and w/ proper follow up care (to ensure good healing and low crowing opportunities) the outcomes are very good. I would let Dr. James do it in a heart beat if I needed a quiet breeding roo.

The vet that is doing my roos went and learned the procedure from the vet in Oklahoma. 
these aren't my "great" cemani, these are mike bean's non Smithsonian line, and I have 8 of them atm and have lots of others coming in the spring svart honas, smithies, 2-3 lines of ayam cemani, another line of white bresse.
Like I said, I'm ok with the risk, as I do have quite a few of these, as I want to breed, but not live with a constant crowing contest, as well as do capons for meat. The vet has been practicing on her ccl, and offered me a deal on the surgery as she's learning on the fm chickens, and like with caponizing, it's better to learn on not very expensive or special chickens than ones your really attached to. It's part of my learning process and curve. She is including the aftercare for $150. We discussed it at length, so as she refines and works on different breeds, so she's offered me 2 for 1 for decrowing. Great deal to me including pick up and drop off.
