I've STOPPED Roosters Crowing Is there enough interest for me to patent & supply?

I think depending on the method you could have a large market world wide.
EDIT to ADD: It also would have to be a one time thing.

Why would you not want a rooster to crow? I love hearing my boys. .. that's what they're supposed to do just curious

There are many chicken owners/lovers that live in residential areas that are forced/choose to have their beautiful Roos euthanized,(after being reported for noise/crowing) rather than risk giving them away to the professional con artists that prey on these pets for to fulfill their own despicable and inhumane practices. Eg Shark baiting, dog baiting/blooding/fighting etc etc

Yes it is a 1 purchase product

Sounds a bit gimmicky to me, no offense. Unless you're marketing cookbooks, like Dragonfly said. I wouldn't be interested but I'm sure if you marketed it in city areas you'd get plenty of takers.

I understand that folks living in the city can't have roosters crowing, and I get that if you order or select 'pullets' that mistakes happen.... but I see a lot of posts from city dwellers that have purchased straight run birds. Trying to rehome a mistaken pullet would be easier than trying to rehome 7 of 10 or so cockerels from a straight run purchase.
For those of us in the country I say Amen to crowing .... for others...a no crow might be an option but since the method isn't being talked about it's entirely difficult to say if one would purchase or use.
Good luck with your invention!!

The no crow collars, for example, don't stop the crowing, they merely mute it. And people say they are not completely safe, can cause choking.
So you'd have to offer something more effective and safe.

Take your idea to the Shark Tank

You are just going to sell us a cookbook

So since you aren't planning to reveal the product to us now, when can we expect something? I'm not a patent pro, but I've heard the process can take a while.
As a general statement, i think the three customers you will hear from are the ones that don't have to worry about crowing, the ones that use the velcro(crow collar), and the ones that do not approve the Velcro but don't have a humane alternative.
With a price of 10 dollars, i doubt you'll sway many velcro users...
And a "one time, super secret, ten dollar surprise" sounds like the people who are looking for something humane will have to keep looking.
But i will anxiously wait for you to prove me wrong!

Would it work on free ranging roosters?
