Chick biting help!

[Martinitime05]

I have 6 chicks ranging from 5 days to almost 2 weeks. My two oldest I got together are black australorps. I feed from my hand in the brooder at least once or twice a day. As of yesterday my one australorp will be first to eat and sit on my hand then bite me. Not just pecking but latching on to big chunks of skin. It sort of hurts and makes me scared of this bird. When it gets older it will just hurt more. What do I do?

Try flicking it with your finger. Not hard but enough so it gets the message. It needs to learn now so it doesn't hurt more later and pecking is a behavior it understands.
