[a_djs1234]

Hey guys sorry to bother this late but I went to go check up on my chickens because I had heard my dog barking and I thought he maybe had saw something I went to go check and I found my chicken laying their and she was unfortunately dead and besides that I found this big hole in her back near her vent and then another bruise I have no idea why she was like this I looked around for any predators but no sign and if their was a predator there shouldve been blood but it was just the big whole and you can see their was stuff inside I never saw this before and I wanna know if it’s something contagious that might affect my other chickens because it happened out of nowhere she was fine when I went to the coop earlier please help I’ll leave the pictures below!

Were they locked in their coop?

Yes I lock them in their coop I had checked up on them and she had all her feathers and I find her like this

I have no idea. Could a rat or anything get into the coop? I don't think it's anything contagious, I think your dog heard something in the coop. Did you check real good to make sure nothng got shut in there with them by accident?

No I checked really good and I don’t think nothing could get in their and their is no rats my dog guards the chicken coop and I checked and made sure their wasn't a predator inside and outside the coop it looks like it exploded or something or something was eating her from the inside I really don’t know an explanation to this.
