We employ the phenomenological theory of the quasiparticle relaxation based on the simplified two-band description and the spin-fluctuation mediated interband coupling to analyze recent normal-state transport data in electron-doped iron pnictides, in particular the Ba(Fe1-xCox)(2)As-2 family. The temperature and doping dependence of the resistivity, thermopower, and the Hall constant are evaluated. We show that their anomalous behavior emerging from experiments can be consistently described within the same framework assuming also marginal, i.e., non-Fermi-liquid-like spin fluctuations provided, however, that the interband coupling is quite strong. We also show that a large thermopower as experimentally observed results from an asymmetric energy-dependent quasiparticle relaxation rate and due to the semimetallic character of both bands.
