I have a leather strap with which I've limited the gait of my rooster. He's gotten over zealous. He can walk about freely but can't run at full gait, so the hens can get away. It also interferes with him mounting them so viciously. His spurs have also been trimmed to a very flat end. The straps are tied so loosely as to not even have a chance of constricting his leg. It seems to be making quite a difference so I am thinking of buying something made for the purpose. But I don't find anything. It seems to work so well that I can't believe no one has done it before. Is there something I'm missing? Has anyone tried this? It seems to be a convenient way to give the hens some recuperation time without putting too much cramp in his style. Feedback appreciated.
