I am not too sure how that would work, as it is always the lump of the foot that causes the problem, where the toes all meet the foot/leg/ankle that causes the problems. never a fat leg issue - Link to comment

I have done this many times even with chicks that have left the nest and are perching. This is NOT braking any rules as the rule states "the bird must be owner bred and rung" cheers Clearwing Link to comment

Well you can in WA. In the Adult Class - whether it is an Adult or not. Although most people wait till their non rung bird has matured and if it is any good will then show it. Link to comment
