Almost every predator will kill a chicken during daylight including those opportunistic nighttime predators. Raptor birds will take a chicken during the day. Hawks, owls etc. As for mammalian predators. Anything that eats birds will pounce on a wandering hen. Dogs, cats, weasels, fox and a multitude of other four footed creatures. There is also the possibility a hen can be killed by the other members of the flock, especially if she was sick or weak.
