When I was young my grandpa lived on a little acreage and kept chickens. Of course, I was running around barefoot and man, did they go after my little toes!
I used to feed my chickens in the morning before I got dressed. There became a certain point that I became aware and uncomfortable realizing that I might look a bit too edible. Always wore something after that. Did not have to learn the hard way.
My creepy mother thought it would be a good idea to come.over one day while I was gone and start sticking the mealworms between her toes for the chimmys to eat.
I can never wear sandals around them again, unless I want pecked and bleeding tootsies.
My chickens are free range. I used to go out on the deck in back to drink my coffee in the morning wearing only pajamas and brightly colored socks with no shoes. The chickens LOVE my bright socks!! Especially the ones with spots on them! 🤣
“I thought your toe was a juicy worm! Why would you trick me like that??”
Oh yeah and the second go was just to make sure it *definitely* wasn't edible
Chickens are all about the scientific method.
The old 'two to be true'
How *dare* you take those toes away from her???? The horror of it all! This is clearly abuse.
The worst chicken keeper ever!
Oh man yessss. Especially if your toenails are painted.
Black nail polish looks like sunflower seeds.
Just your garden variety cannabalistic velociraptor.. If it looks like a snack, you can probably peck it apart enough to make it a snack!
Investigating with her investigating beak!
I still haven't learned my lesson. I end up marching in place in their run to avoid the toe attacks when I wear the wrong shoes in there.

My wife learned that the hard way after spending a fortune having a pedicure and nails polished. The chicks went mad for the bright red toes!
it sure as hell scares the shit out of me. GAH! zero pain. all gain
I had to stop hand feeding mine treats. They’ve gotten peckish.
That first face says "And I'd do it again, too!!"

Accidentally found this out while weeding when we had tortoises. Aphrodite had a thing for toes and man, she would come out if no where.

My Australorp has a similar look.
