Hello! I am a first time chicken mom, and I have six, 8 month old Brahma hens. About a month ago, we lost a duck who shared their enclosure to a raccoon attack, where he was killed right under their coop. Our chicken Georgia was besties with the ducks, and took it very hard. Which is why I think I'm late in realizing something else is wrong with her, and it isnt just the stress of the attack. She is so pale, hasn't laid since then, and loses feathers at an alarming rate. She is starting to tremble. She eats and drinks, and poops normally (I've spent alot of time following her around lately). No evidence of mites or injuries. She used to coo at me and love being picked up, but she lets out a pitiful meow when I pick her up now. Her vent looks too dry and dark. I'm at a loss. My other girls are happy as can be, so whatever it is, it's just her thing. Any ideas?
