Do possums eat the chickens or the eggs or both?

I discovered a possum in my girls nesting box....do they eat chickens or eggs or both? If there is one are there bound to be more?
Possums don't generally kill chickens. Raccoons do & possums get caught cleaning up the kill, therefore they get a bad rap.
 
We see possums here occasionally but we've never lost a chicken or eggs .They steal cat food and make a mess out front sometimes but that's no big deal. The possums help keep the snake and rodent population under control here or we'd probably get rid of them.We have predator proof coops and runs so possums aren't a threat.
