In my chicken coop, it has two long, large drawers which you pull out to clean. There is one roosting perch, as not all of them will roost. Anyway, when cleaned, I line these drawers with paper, then put in what is commonly known as 'freshbed'. This is chopped up straw, and makes a soft bedding, for nesting, sleeping and whatever. I had to give the back drawer a really big clean this day, lined it with paper and though to myself, 'I will put the 'freshbed' in later on.
Bedtime came, chooks wated to go in to sleep. Aurelia went in, a Buff went in, Aurelia came out, the Buff came out. I was watching all this from a distance and thought 'what's up with them then?' Another Buff went in and came out again. This went on for quite a while - I watched from my kitchen.
Ah!!! I remembered I hadn't put in the 'freshbed'! Oh dear - Mummy hadn't made the bed!!!
They wouldn't go in and sleep just on the newspaper!
I really should add that they all rushed to get in, not one by one but two by two, squished together side by side, in the doorway, as soon as the bedding had gone down!!

They wanted their soft bedding. Maybe they thought you were trying to save money

Oh I love chickens. I live in the perfect place for them, but my garden is far too small. They are such interesting birds. I didn't know they were so into their routines though!
