My hen is obsessed with me!...

[Sunny the Chicken]

As it seems, she took a fancy to you and is trying to get your attention just like a hen would behave around a rooster she likes.

Ah, I see.

Her obsession is far from normal I think- at night she doesn't even go in the coop, even though it's pitch black dark outside, because she's waiting for me?? All the other chickens have gone in and she's just standing in the run following me left, right, left, right. I literally have to nudge her in with a stick.

Don't nudge her with a stick, pick her up and put her on the roost.

I had the same happen with one of my silver-duckwing Araucana hens.
She was raised by a broody hen together with her siblings and still took a fancy to me, all day on the watch out looking for me and not caring in the least for other chickens.
She loved to fly up to ride on my shoulder, preen my hair, nibble at my ear lobes all the while talking non-stop. She even climbed up my legs, tucked at my trousers to get attention and laid her first egg in my arms because she did not want the rooster to keep her company while doing so.

This is her:

I can't get inside- we have an Omlet and I don't fit inside the run

She loves you and wants to spent every hour of the day and night by your side, which is quite a normal thing for someone in love, right?

Chickens often have one or several close friends that will always stick together.

I guess, never thought about it that way

So, if you can afford to spend some time with her every day just talking girl stuff etc., while letting her sit on your lap or shoulder, she should be the happiest little pullet ever.

I had a very special relation with my little girl, it was heart-warming and I loved her too. Sadly, at the age of 6,5 years I had to put her out of her misery last year due to cancer.

I already spend a couple hours with her every day. She's never satisfied, lil' stinker
And, I am so sorry for your loss qwq

She's been spoiled and clingy ever since she was young. When she was just a few weeks old, she made me give her back massages (a.k.a rubs) and if I stopped, she started her distress call. She also managed to escape from the brooder multiple times and ran around the garage, screaming her head off. I could hear her through three doors, three walls, up a flight of stairs, and through a ceiling

As, that is so sweet. My two older girls follow me and peck my legs. I love having pets that pay attention to me. I think chickens peck when they want attention because after all they don’t have any other way to communicate.
