I have heard that...

If you split a roosters tongue, he can not crow.

Don't bite my head off for wanting to try this, but we have tiny little silkie who is apparently a rooster. His name is Popcorn, and he is the largest of our tiny little silkie trio, and we feel that giving having to give him away would be such a loss. What could we do?

Thats the craziest thing I've ever heard.

I don't think it would work either thats not where the crow comes from. They are not like people that need a tongue to articulate words, but it may impead his ability to eat and drink.

The main part of a rooster's crow is generated down where his windpipe splits, there is a harder band of cartilage that vibrates and makes the main crowing noise. Splitting his tongue will have zero effect on crowing. Cutting his throat will stop it for good.

Yes, the noise actually comes from his throat, not is tongue.
