My 1 year old golden campine Wallace may be depressed. A month or two ago her best friend Freddie (also a golden Campine) was killed by a fox when I wasn't at home. Luckily our neibours herd the chickens and ran over with their dogs and saved 4/5, and Wallace didn't seem the same. She stopped eating and her comb is shriveled and dull. She lost 1 kilo. But she might be getting better. She has started eating a little bit again.




Before:

700




(Wallace is the one on the right)



After:
700

I've lost chickens to predators with uninjured survivors before and the survivors don't act quite right for a few weeks. I think they can get traumatized a bit. She looks healthy.
 
Thank you! I just wanted to make sure that It wasn't anything severe
