Thanks, everyone, I have lost sooo many favorite chickens, but the pain of Angela's horrible death is no less severe. Thanks for your consolations.
She was taken at around 6:30 PM 7/23 (yesterday evening). Thinking of how she died makes me uncontrollably furious at that idiot of a raccoon. Oh, it pains me to no end!
Yes, these crazy raccoons are coming out very early these days, and I will obviously have to sit out there every evening to guard the chickens. My dad says that coming out during the day is a sign that the raccoons have rabies. Their brains are so diseased that they don't know what time it is.
Oh I'm sorry. Can I ask how you decided to name her Angela? That's my name and I've never heard of a chicken named that. Although my cousin named a cow Angie after me when I stayed there when I was little.

I had a Golden Campine hen named Angela after a character in Eragon. She was sooo sweet and friendly but she died of a strange disease. I named this Angela after the first.
