Silent rooster?

[FatherRoo]

I posted about my new found bantam rooster in the Identify that chicken forum, and I know for a fact that a rooster crows BEFORE they get their back talons. Yet mine is very quiet, barely even cheeps unless he's hungry or thirsty. Any ideas why? Is he bred with a species of chicken that doesn't crow or something?

What are back talons?

Spurs?

I think their called spurs. The big claws on the back of their legs that most rooster fighters put metal blades on. Those things.

Can and how can rooster talons be trimmed back? And how often
