Do your chickens peck at your shoes and clothes?

[tweetzone86]

Nope, I've 'trained' them that that's not cool...but, I am not a chicken cuddler
The only thing they peck at is the treats in my hand when they are occasionally offered.

I tried hand-feeding them but they get so excited that their pecks pinch my hands. Ouch!

Peck at my clothes, peck at my hair, peck at my toes, jerk bags out of my hands if they think there is bread in them, eat my earrings.

Yeah, they are little juvenile delinquents but I'm rather fond of them the way they are.

Naturally! Couldn't be sexist if I tried.

I'm really pleased to see a complete lack of sexism here.

Only the one I have named “Pecky Bi@$h”. She tries to take a piece of me or my clothing anytime I hold still near her. The rest are content to eat scratch and leave me be.

My favorite Easter Egger follows me around like a dog and occasionally tries to fly up and land on my head. My husband almost died laughing the last time she decided my head was a good place to roost.

I had one jump on my shoulder, then suddenly ended up on my head. She decided to get down, but her foot caught in my braid and my 9 year old had to disentangle her from me.

Then she finally got down, and left me a parting present and pooped on my head! Straight to the shower for me....gross.

You need to do your profile! I always thought you were a fella.Guess you still could be one with pretty toes. Either way, lol! Chickens and polish don't mix along with any jewelery and even false eyelashes are game.

Hahahaha......I would almost pay my chickens to rip off my Brother in law’s wife’s fake eyelashes. They look like black caterpillars . I would die laughing

I learned quickly not to wear flip flops and have painted toenails. Chickens love pretty toes. They must look like fancy bugs.

EEWWWWW! Yeah I was afraid mine was going to poop on me but at least I had a hat on.

If they ever see any lash glue what so ever those suckers are gone! So if she puts them on sloppy you could very well get your wish...for free!

I have a couple of small bantam crosses that love to sit on the roosts and fly down to sit on my head or shoulder. It didn't take me long to learn to quickly remove them from my shoulder because that was how I lost two sterling silver earrings. It's like the say. 'Got bread, got treat, got...ooooooo shiney' good bye earring.

Amazing how slick they can jerk them out of your earlobes.

As for the old poop on the head trick, yeah, I don't think you're a legitimate chicken person until you get a bomb dropped on your head.

...but I guess I'll just pass on the bona fides if it's all the same with everyone.
