Hi, I have a lovely male button I hatched a few months ago.
He had one female as a pair and used to call me to eat with him.
But since I introduced another female from another flock while she recovers from starvation, he keeps pecking me when I "pecked" at the feed with my finger. It's like he thinks I don't belong in the flock anymore and now protecting the feed for the other two. He still like treats and scritches.
How do I prevents the pecking?

He sounds territorial since he's got a newbie. I would just let him be to reduce stress and so you don't agitate him. He should calm down once the new wears off or he may not.
