I don't think isolation ("time out") will work. Will just make her mad and she may feel it her obligation to let you know the situation was unacceptable!

I agree with being nice and having them learn that hands are gentle and provide treats. I brought a hen in in July who had never been taught any manners or developed affection for humans but over time, she has become such a love. Wants to follow me EVERYWHERE! And while she still fusses for a second when I go to pick her up (this is good - I don't want her to be submissive to any ol' human who might wander by) she very quickly settles in my arms and enjoys the ride. I reward with a little treat (and a kiss on the back of her neck

)
