Moved to the coop, now biting?

Hmm--must be something about the name Trouble. My Trouble (glw) and Mean Marge (br) will try and bite me as well. They are 12 weeks old now and still challenge me from time to time. I just peck them on their head if I even see the tiniest sign of an attempt to bite. They have learned to mind their manners for the most part and dont challenge me any more except for once in a while. I have told Marge that she will be first in the oven if she keeps being mean to the others. Usually Trouble kicks her butt when Marge gets out of hand. Keep trying the pecking back and anticipating their behavior. They usually give a sign that they are going to bite before they do. If you can catch it then, you can correct before being bit. If not, keep the grill close to the run!!!
