Chicken attacking feet

[chuckachucka]

My house chicken, a four month old serama pullet, has started attacking my feet when i am wearing certain shoes. She doesn't do it when I am barefoot or just in socks. I think it is the shoes that she doesn't like but it is an aggressive attack as opposed to just a defensive thing because she will go for my wellies when my back is turned. What can I do to discourage this?

Are you sure that she is not a he? I have a rooster who does the same thing when I'm wearing boots.

Let's see a photo of that little hen and make sure she is indeed a hen.

I also have a rooster with the very same issue. Not to say its a rooster but anytime i wear those shoes i know to be prepared

And a photo of the shoes.

My rooster wasn't fond of my nail studded Dansko clogs when he first saw me wearing them. He probably thought they were eating my feet or coming to get him.

And when I walked into his chicken coop with large red ear protectors for sawing wood, he did a serious round of mad clucking. It took him a while to get used to seeing me wearing them.

No not yet

I'm fairly confident she's a girl. I dont have photos of the shoes but they are pale pink and made of rubber. She also attacks my daughter's black school shoes and a few other pairs of shoes, but doesn't take issue with my fluffy slippers.
