Our flock went from 12 to 4 in a brutal dog attack that has left 1 of the remaining at the vets overnight due to puncture wounds. Anyway, could the other 3 be sad and/or depressed? They haven't really seemed to be eating since the night of the attack. Are they going to starve themselves? Is there anyway to help them? The only one that looked to be eating was the injured one...

I'm sorry for your loss.

You don't mention how long ago, but stress will affect them.

Try something they like as a year, scratch, watermelon, berries. Yogurt is always good and is a source of protein in moderation. Are they drinking? Hydration is important.
 
If they haven't eaten in a few days, they are probably still in shock from the stress of rhe attack. If it's been a couple of weeks and they are still not eating, then that isn't good and something else is probably going on.
