Chicken has no beak

That is an amazing survivor story! A couple of years ago I went into the nest boxes one morning to gather eggs, and found a dead hen near a nest box. Her entire beak was completely gone, sliced off flush to her head. It was a very disturbing sight, and I couldn't figure out how it happened since I lock my chickens up safe and secure every night. Soon I saw another hen walking nonchalantly through the yard as if nothing was wrong, but to my horror her right wing was missing! At this point I knew the culprit was surely an opossum, but still had no explanation as to how the possum gained access to the coop. I went out that same eve before dusk with a dog-proof trap, wondering where I should place the trap to catch the culprit. I went inside the coop to check the nest boxes before closing the coop door, and discovered a big male opossum curled up inside a nest box. He had gone inside before dusk and was waiting until dark so he could once again dine on chicken. Too bad for him, the chicken wing he ate the night before was his last meal. The hen that lost her wing healed with no issues, but unfortunately the injury to the hen that lost her beak was fatal. So glad that your hen's story had a happy ending.
