what are those things called that act as a leash for roosters?

[AHappychick]

I can not think of the name and have been searching for hours. I know there is a name for those leashes that go around the roosters leg and allows them to get around with out going to far. Can some one help me out?

Thanks

String?

Sorry, i honestly don't know. i just happened to talk to a man at the feed store once who said he tied his roosters up by one leg at night with string. Then he was surprised when they were gone in the morning.
