How to stop my chicken pecking my shoes

Maybe wrap your shoes in plastic wrap

What if the chicken eats the plastic wrap

She does not hate crocs specifically she hates all shoes but because her beak gets through the holes it is fairly painful

Probably due to the weather and wetness I deal with, but I cannot ever imagine wearing anything other than a solid boot around the chickens.

Maybe carry a squirt bottle with you and give her a face-full of water when she tries to peck your shoes? I've used sprayed water to derail a number of unwanted chicken behaviors - unless it's too cold outside, of course.

It is cold at the moment but maybe if it gets warmer

Not to mention the Poo Factor! Definitely don't want to step in cecal poop with open shoes...
