UPDATE: I just heard my chickens freaking out and a hawk wounded my second and last silkie. She was bleeding real bad, but i have stopped the bleeding. She is in a box surrounded by a towel, trying to keep her warm/comfortable. I think she is wounded near her craw. Do i try to find out more about the wound or let her be? Should i give her sugar water? I need suggestions. This one is Gandy, i have writen about her on here in the past, its my wifes favorite.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I opened the chicken pen about 45 minutes before dawn this morning because i was going to my dads house to build a cane mill.

I came home this evening to find my favorite silky DeDe dead in the run. Her breast was eaten, and her eye was eaten.Any idea what could have done this? Coon, or possum are my thoughts. My son saw a osprey watching the pen this evening, but i dont this was done by a hawk. When i picked up the body, the intestines were hanging out, whatever ate her did it inside the run.

Id say a possum or a hawk

 

[MyChickens14]

Im so sorry to hear about your favorite hen. My condolences.

 

[lazy gardener]

I'm guessing possum.

A very large rat?

So sorry for your loss

 

[Missyblue]

I lost my favorite girl to a hawk, that was pretty much the condition I found her in. So sorry for your loss

 

[Boonie Stomper]

Very sad. Whatever it was my bet is ground based attack. Look for tracks? Skunk?

In any case it may well come back. Sorry for your loss.

I'm sorry about your hen. Very sad. I hope you catch whatever did it.

If it was in the run and the run is uncovered, I would say a hawk. If it was inside a covered area, likely a skunk or some other small predator that was not capable of carrying it away.
I've had numerous opposums around here. They never attacked a bird. Of course they don't have a lot of time to spend in the pen if they do find their way in, my dog sniffs them out in no time. But the ones that do get in the pen seem to go for the easy stuff like eggs and feed.

I’m sorry about your hen I would say possum or maybe skunk?
