Sounds like it could have been a raccoon attack.There are a number of threads on BYC about similar injuries - you may find this one, for example, helpful:

Just a reminder - if there was a security flaw in your coop that allowed a predator to get to your chickens, you'll want to address it to prevent future attacks. I hope your roo recovers from the injury.
PLEASE HELP!!
I had this happen Thursday morning. 2 of my hens survuved attack, one of them has a wing with exposed bone. I have been putting veteracyn on her but not sure what else to do. Reading this forum has given me better ideas to help her. Did your hen recover from this?? I had 6 hens and a young roo. I lost my alpha girl and have another injured hen that we separated from the flock. The one with injured wing is still with the flock since shes still pecking , they are all in shock I think and pecking order is changing since my main girl is gone... I noticed they are all giving the wing injured hen space but I want to help her as much as possible. Any suggestions??
