My mom decided to keep chickens at one point. It didn't take long for all of them to be eaten by wild things. At one point she found one of them after it had been thrashed. She thought it was dead, so she dug a whole and put the chicken in and filled it up and then dropped a big rock on top of the pile of dirt. From under the dirt she heard, 'eep', when she dropped the rock. Yes, turns out the bird wasn't dead yet, but it was very damaged and would not live, so she left it buried.

We didn't realize what was going on until it was too late. Then it took us awhile to locate the owner, so we just had to stand there and watch this huge wolf-like dog eating our poor girl while we got a hold of the owner. My 3-year-old daughter took it way better than I did. She was hugging me trying to make me feel better! Sorry about your loss. It seems with chickens, losses are bound to happen.... one of the drawbacks of having chickens.
