What kind of shoes do you wear out to the chickens?

[Mrs.ChickChick]

Slip on muck shoes in cooler weather, flip-flops in warm weather. Would like to get a pair of Crocs this summer for more foot protection.

I wear a pair of plastic/ rubbery garden shoes. They slip right on and off. I leave them in a bin by the back door and only use them for going out to the chicken coop. Love them! A great investment. I don't worry about them; they are virtually indestructible, and I can just hose them down when they get too poopy.

I have several different crocs, regular style and flip flops, depending on the weather. They are machine washable or you can hose them off. When I want to run waterers through the dishwasher with bleach, I might put my crocs on the top shelf too. Let everything air dry.

ruber flip flops for sure chook poo washes right off them, however that was before I got a bit jealous of the yellow chicken boots !

Flip flops are nice for summer except if you have broody around you'll still get fresh poo on you if you aren't careful. Mud boots are great in the winter but I refuse to wear them when it's 100+ degrees outside. They're just a bit too hot for that. I finally found a pair of crocs without the holes in the sides at a good price so I'm going to try those out. Still like my slip on old tennis shoes the best but they're getting kinda Holy. or Holey. I prefer Holy lol. For when I go out to worship the chickens.

Old birks in summer, muck boots in winter. However, 3 days ago, I wore my birks and it was muddy, the grip is mostly worn off and I slipped in said mud, and, well I biffed it good. Mud everywhere but in my face. Thankfully, I bounce easier than I break.

LOL...that's funny JT

I use a beat up OLD pair of sneakers during the winter and a beat up pair of sneakers (Yes the same ones) in the summer.

I have an old pair of New Balance slip ons that I keep by the back door. Whatever I'm wearing I slip off on the mat and slip in to old slip ons. Don't have to worry about snow, etc. but do have to put on socks on days like today... it's 62 degrees.

Steel-toed rubber work boots. They're the easiest to clean and disinfect, essential to keep all of the chicken germs out of the house.

I use the thongs/crocks rule. I'm the only one going in the pen. I bring out any to be held.
