They do. Everyone is different and mourns in different ways and for different amounts of time. I've seen roosters mourn terribly before. They are very sensitive. I guess it depends if you're willing to spend the time watching them, being open to seeing these emotions they are experiencing... it's there though.

Subject: [CHICKENS-101] Do chickens mourn?
My flock of Welsummers were laying eggs really well. Then out of the blue, their rooster died suddenly. The 11 hens still make those chicken sounds like they are busy and happy but, they all but one have stopped laying. They are still eating some but not drinking much water either and I make sure the water is fresh every day. I was just wondering if they are mourning their rooster's death. Any suggestions?
