How to stop my pullets from pecking at me

[The ChickenKing]

I posted this on chicken behaviors and egglaying but didn't get any replies; my two Black Australorp pullets Lucky and Marble always come up to me and peck me and it kinda hurts! Is there any reason for this and how would I discourage this type of behavior? By the way, my other five pullets are perfectly fine and seldom peck at me if ever at all.

peck back. Momma chicken would. I just tap there beak or head with my finger and it worked so far.

That seems like it would work, I'll try that next time they're out thanks.

Yes, peck them back. I would thump mine on the beak when they pecked me. None of them pecks me now!

Another vote for letting them know that it just won't be tolerated.
