Slow down, it's ok!  
For your rooster, if he stopped gasping, then he's fine.  Listen to his breathing to see if he sounds raspy or labored.  If he doesn't sound unusual (you might be able to hear slight breathing noises, but that's ok.  Raspy breathing is obvious.), then don't worry about him, he probably was just trying to swallow some food.
For your hen, do your chickens free range?  How old is your hen?  What kind of coop/run setup do you have?  Usually a predator will leave some sort of sign of its presence (tracks, claw marks on wood), and if a hen was snatched, there may be a large amount of her feathers around.  Chickens will lose feathers when attacked or surprised as a defense mechanism.  Take a deep breath, it is possible that she is just broody, and she found some hiding place to hatch her eggs.  Take a look around and see if there are any small details out of the ordinary.  
Hope this helps!

sorry it took me so long to get back. my chickens are 2 months old and I live in town. they have a run too. everything turned out okay though. thanks so much!
