My youngest chickens, just under three months old that I hatched myself, follow and chase me when I let them out and when they go up. It makes getting them in the coop pretty easy. Aside from one pullet who likes pecking interesting things, like toes, no one else pecks me.
I think it's a pack mentality thing. So many birds following each other, one Flys or pecks at you other's follow then it becomes a habit. At this point I think all you can do to stop this behavior, non-lethal at least, is to put them in separate groups. Small enough to be easier to deal with. Or you can just continue deal with tiny Velociraptors.
