Is it possible for a Chicken to lose her sister and become depressed or ill.?

[Cody0115]

Hi as the title States I have a weird chicken. I Had two Serama hens, these chickens were as close as anything, they were cats in a doggy world. They went everywhere together and even though the flock didn't like them they had each other. But a few days ago one of the Seramas died, and now the other is acting I'll. Before when her sister was alive she showed no illness at all, she was flying, jumping and running around as normal. But after her sister passed away she has been distance, breathing funny, she tried to get along with the other chickens but they rejected her. She also is really sleepy and sleeps standing up. She has also lost a ton of energy and barely plays around anymore. I am wondering either she became ill or is taking her sisters death to hard? Please help, she is starting to worry me a ton and I can loss another one.

Sounds ill to me. The stress of her sister being sick could have been the catalyst. You might want to find a vet to look at her.
