Possible broken back or spleen???

Has anyone ever had a rooster kill a hen?? I think thats what happened(( It happened to my favorite hen
On Monday morning she was running around for scratch like normal and then a few hours later my EE roo was on top of her getting a bit rough,...I....immediately smacked him off(almost twisted his neck on the spot) and she could barely move. I put him in a cage and her in the nesting box to rest. Eventually a few hours later she came out but was slow when walking and would stand still alot. When I got home later that night(after slaughtering 5 roosters I had been saving-including this EE which I originally was not planning) she was dead Im glad I had already slaughtered him that day because I dont know what I would have done if he was still alive. Dont mean to sound cruel.

I feel so bad because I had given him to my aunt and he was rough with her hens and then I free ranged him with mine and this happened. i should not have done that.

Here is my poor hen RIP



And heres the EE big boy

Awww...sorry bout your poor hen.

I'm not sure whether it's possible for rooster to break a hens back or not???? Maybe if it was a 9 lb roo jumping on a tiny d'uccle hen or something, but your hen looks standard sized. It's possible she may have had another issue, and this was coincidence...
I can't deal with a rough rooster though - it just goes through me when they're rough with hens. I love the roo I have now because he is courteous and pretty gentle as roos go - if he is declined, he lets it go and moves on to someone more cooperative.
