Leashing the rooster

[Farmer_Dan]

I have a roo that might be a bit too agressive for me.

However, he's so nice to look at and his crow is full and loud. I love it.

I tied a string onto his leg though, so I could catch him and pick him up and hold him and stuff so he doesn't just attack me and run away. It seems to be working well (hopefully he doesn't get it caught on something and hurt himself).

Has anyone used a string / leash like this? Any reason that it could be problematic (other than of course it getting stuck on a tree or bush or something and making him stay put until we let him go)?

I've known people who tied out their roosters. I'd just make sure you had him where the string couldn't get wrapped around anything and hurt him.
