Still seems grumpy, still pecks other hens around food only (never did this before) and has completely stopped cuckoo'ing. Also slept in the straw boxes that the hens lay in a few times, never did that before either 😂

Seems a little happier now 2 new hens have been introduced, but has been sleeping in the coop on his own and gets grumpy around food and pecks other hens (he has never done this before and always been so generous with feeding his hens)

Thanks, I have checked the coop and cannot see anything. No bloody or scabby patches on his skin either, seems healthy. Just lethargic and scared, barely moving from the safety of the coop.

Thanks for your reply. His tale feathers have definitely been gradually dropping and were nothing to do with the fox attack. He has been waiting outside the coop for his hens to return too. I have put in safety measures against future fox attacks, it is mainly his health I am concerned about...

Its been a strange couple weeks for him, his favorite 2 hens were taken by a foxes in the afternoon. He has not been acting normal since, stays in the coop a alot. Likes to hide amongst trees and doesnt cuckoo/ wander round and peck nowhere near as much as he did. He seems to be eating...
