If you're busy slaughtering young roosters, it probably won't be long before you're dealing with slightly larger animals :-) For me, it's part of the cooking process, which simply starts a few steps earlier, and I like to know where both meat and vegetables come from, even if it's far from everything we eat.

As my wife says about rabbits, "they're both cute and good to eat."

Otherwise, it seems that marine pipe fittings for railings are the most suitable, unless anyone has other good tips on how to securely attach a pipe?
 
If you use handrail fittings, you get the advantage that nothing is in the way if you want to move the hook sideways.

There are plenty of farmers here who raise livestock, so I don't think we'll be competing :)
The chickens are just a hobby, a small endangered native breed called Åsbo chickens.
And we sell a few animals every year to people who want to start keeping chickens.
Typically, they want four hens and a rooster. Simple math says we end up with a surplus of roosters in the fall :p

Btw, I believe the suggestion of "grab rails" for boats that blue.b mentioned might be the best option.
These things are made to hold a fully grown person on board, so they should withstand your lambs.
Additionally, they're usually corrosion-proof.

What do the feminist, gender-aware forum members say about the term grab rails :)
 
Visit a blacksmith and have something made, you know...
