My girls used to be curious sweethearts & now they are just peckers! I like to pat them and play with them, but they enjoy pecking my fingers and it really hurts! I've tried clapping my hands when they do it hoping the sound will scare the from doing it or yelling "owe!" unfortunately it seems to make them even more enticed LOL. Now I just hide my hands unless their back is turned and I can sneak in a quick pat. Is this common for hand-raised hens or are they just being little snots?
*Note- I've never hand fed them to avoid this problem, didn't seem to help lol.
