Until about ten days ago, I had three chickens. One was six years old and stopped laying a couple years ago. Two others I raised from chicks hatched about seven months ago.
The old girl died. She went into the nesting box, went to sleep, and never woke up. She was in the box about 12 hours before I found her dead.
The young girls were laying daily. They have not laid an egg since the older one died. To my knowledge, they have not gone to the nesting box either.
Is this some kind of PTSD, and do they ever get over it?
