Hen Screaming Loudly for Hours

It wasn't traumatizing, it's like she just went to sleep and didn't wake up

Chickens are quick to notice things in their flock. They very likely noticed rightaway that their leader wasn't moving or reacting and wasn't going too. They'll get over it, she's just antsy from getting to point of lay.
Sorry you lost a chicken

I also think your girl is preparing to lay. Mine do that exact sound 1 or 2 days before they lay. They are also a nervous wreck, moving around constantly, getting in all the nesting boxes trying to select the one they will lay and talking all the time.

Good day! Thank you for the information.

Good day to you too!

We don't say "good day" in the US (at least here in Rhode Island, we don't!) so when I saw that it made me smile and I just had to say it back to you
It's neat that you're from London, by the way!
