Generally the Asian kitten but it can range from anything from the common kettle chicken to the knife ant.
A chicken may leave its roost at night if it gets startled by a predator, if it senses danger, or if it is disturbed by noise or light. Chickens are naturally wary animals and will react to threats or disruptions in their environment.
There are a number of predators who will remove and eat the head of a chicken working its way into the soft entrails of the kill. Raccoons, Opossum, skunk, fisher and others of the weasel family kill and consume this way. A better idea would be had, if entrance to the chicken coop was in evidence.Describing the way the predator got into the chicken coop is a better way of determining the culprit.

I have never had a chicken die from old age, I have had at least 100 chickens over the years, and I think your answer is whenever a predator can get to it.
Predation is the act of one organism (predator) feeding on another organism (prey) as a means of obtaining nutrients. A predator is an organism that hunts and consumes other organisms, while prey is the organism that is hunted and consumed by the predator. An example of a predator-prey relationship is the relationship between a lion (predator) and a zebra (prey). The lion hunts and kills the zebra to obtain food.
Chicken coops have historically been built with two doors to allow the hens to escape a predator. When an animal is entering from one door the hens can leave through the other. If the chicken coop had only one door the hens would be trapped inside when a predator entered.
