Hi there, hope you are enjoying BYC! 
It might even give some folks the opportunity to raise flocks full of heritage cockerels instead of broilers.. I'm telling you 15 or so of them get going it can get old pretty quick. Many start crowing before harvest age.
Not for me personally, as I too value the song.. but I see SO many folks trying to keep roosters that aren't supposed to have them.. the demand would be huge IF the product were indeed as described. Yes, I also have a hen that crows.. but it's nothing like the broadcast from the fellas. If I lived in the city, I'm sure I would consider it... I can only sell eating eggs for about $4/dozen verse $65/dozen for hatching eggs.. and chicks pop out around $10 each.
I'm not generally interested in helping folks break the law by having animals specifically stated as prohibited in their city ordinance.. I don't believe most state if the rooster is quite you can keep him. I think most say NO roosters.. and loopholes are.. for losers!
Licensing is a great option! Have you set a price point yet? $10 would be an easy spend for most people. But $20 would be worth it. Beyond that price point would count ME out.. but I'm a saver not a spender.. and many folks will spend WAY more than me.
Dr H, I can't help but wonder.. do you eat chicken or meat? Are you trying to save ALL the roosters.. or more so the heartache of the keepers and saving roosters is a bonus? Just curiosity! Glad you missed out on the virulent New Castle's disease mandatory quarantine followed by mandatory euthanasia of so many back yard flocks in So Cal last year! Your flock is lovely BTW.. Happy adventures and stay well!
Can't wait to see your device and it's results!
