  you boy's go to hilltopfeed.com that's the game fowl supply store for all your needs .  you don't tie a rooster out they make leg straps with swivels . the barrels and tie cords are the cheapest route to go , but if you have predators or young unbroken dogs around they will ruin you . hoot owls love to pick roosters off a barrel at night . if you have good brood fowl you need to keep them secure in a pen at least 4x4x4 preferably larger with a solid board around the bottom half to avoid any young stags on the yard wanting to pen fight which will ruin a rooster's feet and legs . they make several types of tie cords for roosters . I don't like the nylon as it rubs the scales raw on the leg  .
