Welcome to BackYard Chickens! How old is your chicken? It looks like a pullet to me. Sorry for your loss. Please encourage your son to come back around the chickens and show him how to handle them properly (having him feed them mealworms would be good). You don't want him to be forever afraid to go near them or to despise them later. They might be a good therapy tool for him.
