Please help? What's wrong with my Isa Brown?

[rgoodpa1]

I've had an Isa Brown for three years and she has changed in the past few days. She is no longer eating or laying eggs. She sits in one spot in the yard most of the day with no energy.
She appears to be healthy with clear eyes and a clean vent. Is she just depressed or should I look into something else. She get a good diet and clean shelter. I have also tried to check to see if she is egg bound however I don't think that's the problem.
Grateful for any advice. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Does she have a flock? Did she recently loose a flockmate?

About a month ago the Rooster of the flock was killed and also we reintroduced an injured hen back into the flock after she healed.

Chickens Grieve just like us. If they loose a member of their family they can get sad and slow down, Honestly I've never had it happen thankfully but I also don't know if there is any way to treat grief.

If this has just come about in the last few days, I would not think grief. Maybe if it had happened just after the attack it might be grief or shock/stress, but not this much later.

Really? I've heard of people with grieving chickens for many weeks...

I'm not trying to say it can't happen or doesn't happen, just that if this was a sudden onset in the last few days and the rooster died a month ago, it's probably something else causing problems with the hen.

Is her crop full? Check it in the morning and if it's still full, try massaging it. Hope she gets better
