Oh yes. I see what you are saying now. So far, I've only worked with it with long sleeves and a jacket on because apparently I choose cold days to work outside. ;) Of course, once I had to take off my gloves because they weren't working for me and I drilled a screw into the side of my finger. Oops!
@Ninjasquirrel find a good pair of gloves that fit. That will help. Get the tetanus shot now if needed - as there will be more opportunities to mess with metal with regards to rearing chickens. ;)
