They are available from most fly tying shops usually of the veniard variety.
The biggest problem with the veniards ones are that I find the knots are a bit higher up than I like,so have in the past done my own which is not recommended for your sanity if doing a lot of them.

With Dabbyhoy on this - do your own as the knot will end up where you wish it to be.

Never purchased pre-tied legs but was always curious as to location of the knots.. I use tweezers and have gotten fairly fast !

I buy some superb quality pheasant tails from Steve Cooper at Cookhills and use a crochet needle to knot them-that way you can tie in as many joints as you wish and it's fairly quick-all depends on how many you want.
