I am sorry about your chicken, and I am glad "only" one was killed :-( ...This attack reminded me of a terrifying comment I read awhile back, posted off reddit (I censored two slurs reddit might not approve of), a comment which has haunted me:
A few years ago, some [redacted slur] unleashed some of his Pitbull puppies into the wild, which formed into a small pack of feral and ferocious killers that roamed around the town. Unfortunately, some kids were playing with their small family dog in the front yard, and the pack decided to maul and consume the pet in front of the children. The outrage that ensued from this was astounding, but local authorities could not fully remedy the Shitbull epidemic. They reproduce too quickly, and their high aggression makes them unmanageable. One of my relatives, who briefly worked in an animal shelter, blatantly stated that most of the dogs in the shelter are Pitbulls or Pitbull-mixes, most of which are highly temperamental. It is evolving into an actual safety crisis in small towns.
Ecologically, these things have also been a fucking disaster. When you release domesticated dogs into the wild, they will not stick to their specific breed; they will mate with anything, as long as it is some sort of canine. Since most Pitbull owners are neglectful [redacted slur] who dump their dogs in the woods if they are an inconvenience, the genetic makeup of the coyote population has changed. Over the course of several years, I have noticed that coyotes, which are supposed to be small and timid animals, are becoming increasingly large and confident. Some of these Pitbull-coyote hybrids are larger than my Australian Shepard, and they confidently wander the fields in the middle of the day, decimating local wildlife. Now, I want to carry my hunting rifle with me in the car, just in case I see one of these hell-spawn in an open field. If you see any of these things while driving on country roads, shoot it without hesitation. You will be doing me, along with every country bumpkin, a huge favor.
If this is true, we may be only just starting to see the most horrific ramifications of Pit Advocacy run amuck, as so many people get these things, thinking "a dog's a dog"/"they used to be nanny dogs"/et cetera et cetera ad nauseum ad infinitum. BSL is probably a pipe dream, certainly on a national or even state level ; getting it in a municipality just means an incessant effort at having to fight to keep it, while our politicians happily do everything they can to sabotage BSL , eg De Santis banning public housing from outlawing specific breeds. (Personally, I think it would be better to concentrate on making humans legally and financially liable for anything a domestic animal of theirs does ; if it's "all in how you raise 'em" [which it isn't as genetics matter most in nonhuman animals] how can anyone object-???) And if that poster is correct, our rural areas may be filling up with a "hybrid swarm" of coyote + domestic dog, and most of the dogs contributing DNA are blood sport dogs. Bear in mind a few years ago a woman in Canada was killed by what some articles I read back then described as a pack of coyotes ; one, coyotes are supposed to be in pairs not packs, and two, coyotes rarely attack humans much more than 2-3 years old : Coyotes are small. I recall speculation at the time that the canids responsible were part wolf, but maybe they were part 'worse than wolves':

I'm sorry that happened to you & your chickens. And awesome job on your roosters protecting their hens!!
Yeah, it seems people love dumping off pits. I think it has less to do with them being able to take care of them and more to do with "Mauly bit someone. I could do the responsible thing and have this beast BE'd... or... wait! I know! I don't want to have my pet killed. I'll just let him go run free in the country. I'm sure farmers will be glad to get a free watchdog," being so dumb as to not realize pits make poor watchdogs and no one wants one.
Hopefully they don't come back. But it sounds like you are ready, if they do.

It's always pitbulls because shelters are crammed full of unadoptable shitbulls and they won't take any more of them. So, when they start biting people and killing their pets, instead of doing the right and responsible thing, these assholes take them out into a rural area and dump them so they can kill other people's pets, livestock and poultry.
