Carrion beetles

[Chodgson]

Hi! Unfortunately we just discovered a chicken that had fallen and gotten stuck somewhere in our coop and died. Probably there for a while. When we took it out it was full of carrion Beetles. I am wondering if one of my other chickens eat these beetles if it is safe

The chicken will be fine eating a beetle.
