coop door opened during the night and 2 chickens died from the cold

[ubumartin]

I shut the coop door but it opened sometime in the night.it usually latches but I didn't latch it enough and it fell open. 2 hens died I believe from getting cold. It dropped to 20s last night. I think it was the wind.they also have survived -11 one night and bitter cold single digits recently. One was outside the coop and one inside. 2 of my other chickens survived but one is bloody and wheezing. Both the dead chickens are bloody but I think maybe they were pecked by the other 2. Not sure where the blood is coming from I tried washing herwith a damp cloth and I can't really see any open areas. Maybe blood from the dead chickens. Anything I can do for ybe one who is wheezing?

Actually, to me, it sounds like an animal got into your pen and attacked your chickens.

I agree with TTracy....it sounds more like an animal got to them instead of the cold.

100F will kill chickens, not 20.

More than one dead chicken with an open door at night and blood = predator attack. Probably raccoon.
