My 3.5 year old stopped eating her food two days ago. She will eat treats, but only treats. No other symptoms.

There is a possibility she may have a tumor, but vet wasn't sure, which was brought up before she had crop surgery about two months ago. Her closest flockmate is currently indoors, as of two days ago, because she's nearly nude due to a hard molt and was visibility cold outside.

No other symptoms. I don't know if this could be related to the possible tumor, to her flockmate being indoors (the other three of my flock are essentially their own flock and they don't huddle with this hen although coexist peacefully) or if this is something totally different.

Advice? Should I bring this hen indoors to see if she'll start eating when with her flockmate? Keep just feeding different treats? Wait for a vet visit...but would probably be a couple weeks before seen. I intend to bring her flockmate back outside on Tuesday when the weather warms up.
 
Even though she would go from 30 degrees outside to 70 inside? Tomorrow will be warmer...high of 45
