Chicken attacking feet

Take your shoes off and put them in front of her. She may attack them then realize that they are not dangerous and stop attacking them. Your hen also might not like the color pink. My rooster doesn't like blue, this year, though, he doesn't like pink, or maybe he doesn't like my fuzzy mittens. Is your shoes fuzzy? I do know chickens don't like new things. You said you walk around barefoot so your hen is used to that. I personally think it is a very good idea to wear shoes on on a farm. Good luck with your hen getting used to your shoes!

She doesn't seem to mind fuzzy things, the shoes she goes for are all hard materials like leather or rubber. Great idea about letting her see them not moving. Hopefully if they don't move she will stop seeing them as a threat.

Thanks for the ideas everyone. I will definitely be trying a couple of them. She's actually a really friendly little thing when she's not on ground level!

Your post led me to do a google search. Your little Serama does look like a pullet, but... then I came up with this... https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/hen-featherd-serama-rooster.265721/

That rooster is so pretty! But I'm sure my little one is a girl (after a LOT of deliberation when she was younger).

Well, she appears to be a girl with a strong opinion about shoes! How old is she?

When I was a kid, I had a little banty roo who absolutely hated boots, stuffed monkeys, and my kid sister.

I have a banty roo who hates boots, too, he also attacks my brothers, attacking a stuffed monkey though?

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.

So pretty!
