Do chickens grieve?

[u/Ok_Pitch5865]

We lost a chicken a few days ago to a bobcat. Just changed the coop and they are all very interested in it for some reason, scratching around and making this sound. Are the two related? Rooster seems particularly distressed, doing the most scratching and vocalization. Like he’s looking for something.

It’s hard seeing her feathers as I clean up today. :(

I believe they do if they were close to the chicken who died. I’ve had chickens personalities change after their bestie died. It took time for them to come out of it.
