Lol!
It doesn't work for every rooster, it depends on their temperament. He didn't not crow... he came in overnight to a box in the shed and would crow his heart out in there from abbout 4am, where it was muffled enough not to bother the neighbors. Once he'd finished crowing, usually between 9am-10am, I'd bring him out and if he crowed while out, he went back in. He gradually learnt not to crow while outside and mostly didn't. We'd get the occasional days when he would, usually in spring as they came into breeding season. He was a gentle giant, light Sussex. I've had no success with an araucana and his son is half araucana, so probably got too much of that temperament.
