Ok I have 2 mini flocks one rooster and 7 hens and another rooster and 3 hens. Well one flock got attacked and there is only one hen left out of the 3. And the rooster. So idk if she may be sick or depressed. Do chickens get depressed? The too flocks would co- mingle but mainly stayed separated. She didn't get hurt in the attack. But she started staying in the far corner of the run alone. That's why I asked about the depression. Bc she wouldn't co-mingle anymore. Now her comb is half laying down and a lot lighter pink instead of almost red. And I noticed she has diarrhea this morning. She is still eating and drinking. But then goes back to her corner and sits. She was never a high energy chicken but now she seems to have no energy now. The rooster checks on her but he just stays with the other chickens mostly. It's like they all forgot about her. Could she have made her self sick?
 
I figured she would have went with the other ones in her breed with the other rooster but she choose my silkie rooster and other silkie and some other breed I don't have a clue what to call it. And only her and the rooster made it. Do you think she will join the others? there are 4 other chickens of her same breed. Or should I see about replacing the ones we lost? I'm just worried about her bc she just seemed depressed but this morning I noticed she has diarrhea. Also do you think if I got rid of the other rooster ( he is a Rhode island) that she may join in or do you think the other 7 hens will have a problem. He is getting really aggressive to me and me only. No matter what I do. I lost the other 2 about 3 wks ago. And they are all hand raised and about 6 months old
