No. True possums, marsupials of Australia, do not eat chickens' eggs.

However, the North American Virginia opossum, the only marsupial in North America, is omnivorous and will eat chicken and other bird eggs when available to them.

No. Possums do not kill chickens.

The Virginia Opossum (which is not a possum) may exhibit different behaviour.

No. Teenage or fully grown chickens can fight off an opossum easily, however, the question raises about the chicks and newborns.

Why did you find a possum in your chicken pen?

This depends on whether you are referring to possums or opossums, which are quite distinct from one another. True possums, marsupials of Australia (and surrounding islands) have no interest in chickens ("chooks" in the Australian vernacular) or chicken pens, beyond getting some leftover fruit that may be in there. Opossums of north America are known to kill chickens and sometimes eat their eggs.
