My chicken keeps laying her egg on my husbands pillow

[Chicklove4ever]

My 20 week old BO started laying 5 days ago.I have 7 hens and shes the only one that started.She laid her first egg in nesting box and all the rest of the times she sneaks in to the house to go to my bedroom early in the morning wile my husband is still sleeping. He works late so he wakes up a little later.She sneaks in and lays her eggs right next to him on his pillow.The first time it happened i was coming in from outside and i hear my husband scream ahhhhhh! I ran to the room and there she was walking across the bed all happy she laid her egg on my husbands pillow next to his head.My husband was mortified lol .The next day she did it again,she gets into the house through the back door kids come in and out so do dogs.now my husband is used to being woken up by our hen in the morning, the freshest breakfast in bed lol she was always a spoiled chicken since she was a chick its just soo weird....why is she doing this??

This morning i made sure the door was closed so she couldn't get in she kept squawking for 2 hours flying up against the door i couldnt take it anymore so i let her in and as usual she went straight to my bedroom jumped on the bed and laid her egg on my husband's pillow then jumped down after she was done and walked to back door for me to let her out. Ive never experienced somthing like this before my mind is blown lol

Lock her in the coop and run, habit needs to be broken not catered to.

I agree with @aart, it may be funny the first two times but after a while it may be a BIG problem. What if your grand parents came over to spend the night and they stayed in your room, and they heard the chicken outside their room so they opened the door....

This is hilarious! I've never heard of a chicken doing this before. Maybe you could remove the pillows before letting her into the room? She might not want to lay without the pillows there.

Be sure to remove hubby too. If no pillow she might decide hubbys tummy is soft enough.

This would not be funny at my house.

Hi! I’ve never had well- a chicken come in the house! But my first thought would be maybe don’t let her! If it’s bc of a dog door, than I would have second thought to that. Keep your bedroom door closed and make sure that you put fake eggs in the nesting boxes to encourage her to lay there. I’m not sure what to say since I have never experienced a chicken who wouldn’t lay in the right place!

Yes i think you're right she was hatched and raised til 8 weeks in my bedroom we had the incubator and the brooder in our room. So i tried putting fake eggs in nesting box on day two it didnt work she kicks them out lol.

That could be an issue! Lol, maybe try putting the pillow in the nesting box? Idk!
