My guess is a dog. A wild predator would have made off with the body and eaten it.View attachment 1677721 A while ago we had a black Australorp hen get attacked in the night. We still haven’t figured out what the cause was. She was completely free ranged, and none of the other chickens were ever attacked. There was a trail of blood leading to her body, but the only injury was a leg wound. The blood was found from the roost and went around to the other side of the barn. I guess it could have been something killing for fun but i would think that she would of been I bit more torn up. It also appeared that she walked away and then died.

None that we could see, unless it had some internal injuries.Only bite wound is to the leg? No other wounds anywhere else near the head or anything?

Our neighbor has a dog that shredded our cat, so now that I think about it that was probably the culprit.Looks like a domestic dog then. Do you have a dog that you trust to put with the chickens?
