Is it okay to tie your roosters??

 

[canada-goose]

What do you mean? Tie their legs together? Tie down their wings? In every circumstance I can think of, the answer is probably no.

I mean tie one of there legs and keep the other end of the rope tied to something....

The one time I tried that with a chicken, she nearly went crazy with panic!

I don't think it's a good idea to put a chicken on a leash.

Just saw this ad on CL. This is a different pic though. . . the first pic it was real obvious that the guy had something tied around one of it's leg. You can see the green twine hanging from the bird on this pic.

I would say not a good idea. You can't control the environment or the chicken for that matter. I see the potential for a lot to got wrong.

I'm trying to think of a reason why you would want to tie a rooster???

I think that would not be a good idea for many reasons.

No because it can't get away if a predator comes and it could injure the leg if the bird freaks out. The only time I have ever heard of tying or staking a rooster was for illegal things that I shall not mention.

Sometimes people tie their roos in order to protect them from fighting each other or to keep them from breeding. It's not necessarily for evil intent. There are safe ways to do it where the roo is very well cared for.
