how do you work out your fowl? I've been trying to come up with ideas on how to exercise them...

currently I just handle them... I hold them by the tail and let them fly down... also holding the tail I lift them so they are trying to run with toes barely touching ground... and then I flip them onto their backs so they spin upright about a dozen times... something I saw on Youtube... works pretty good at getting them winded.

Some of that is the same.. I do have a little covered round pen with sand and a well trained cattle dog that heards them lol.. And hi fly perch stations

oh thats cool... so the dog will just kind of run them in circles in the pen?

I was thinking about buying myself a treadmill and making a little cage to work my roosters on it too...

Yep the dog doesn't chase them he goes in and does a down until the bird is not upset then will slowly do a crouch move to get the bird to move..
The bird gets used to it and you can regulate the speed of the bird after a while with the dog moves
