Chicken leashes??

[SpaghettiJo]

Our chickens do well on leashes, it takes a few minutes for them to get used to it, but it doesn't bother them unless they don't want to go where you want them to. They can be trained by using a reward system, just like you do with dogs. The harnesses can be found in Amazon and at Coastal Farm Supply. They may try to convince you they can't walk with the harness on, if that happens, check the fit. If it's too tight, or doesn't sit right on the neck, it needs to be adjusted. The same goes for too loose. Ideally, it won't put pressure on the crop, and it won't restrict breathing around the chest.

You can look on Etsy.

This is Gurtrude's harness, and it's too big on Lizbeth, but it shows how it goes on.

I have been making and selling chicken harnesses for like six years now and have sold them all over the world. It's pretty common to leash train them and they do quite well. Mine are $15 plus shipping, which is the general price I've seen around lately. I remember being among the first, or at least it felt that way, and now they seem to be all over, haha.

My birds loved their walks, and I also used the harness for educational days when I would take my birds out and about. They get used to them fairly quickly as long as you choose ones that don't restrict them or interfere with balance as I've found some do, by affecting the crop and other such things.

The best harness or lease fits onto the shank or a chicken's foot above the four toes. There is no downside to using it. It can be fitted to all fowl as long as they're standard size birds. It can also be used indefinitely to confine your birds to your property as long as you keep your eyes on them. The cost is about $3.00 per bird.
