Ok, so maybe it's not too serious, but my current flock I raised from chicks and hand fed them treats. It was all fun and games until they became adults. Now they assume if I am outdoors with them I have treats. This seems cute and all but sometimes I like to walk around my yard barefoot. Imagine if you will an entire flock of chickens pecking your feet. It's a little strange, to say the least. It doesn't really hurt me, but it's freaking my wife out. I kinda have them trained that if I bend over and show them a closed fist it means I have nothing for them and they leave me alone but my wife is still freaking out. Really I am asking how to break this habit of feet pecking so my wife won't feel endangered LOL.
Any ideas on how I can get them to stop?
Also, they don't peck shoes, only bare feet. I can only surmise they are too dumb to know the difference between a hand and a foot.
