I know i should wear pants and rubber boots, but will often be in shorts & flip flops. In my defense, i'm from florida.It drives me nuts that so many don't consider this. I don't always wear long pants if I know that none of the chickens are going to be hormonal (broodies/young birds) but a majority of the time I have long pants on. I will add that I have had young pullets go after my legs and feet much the same as any aggressive male would.
