Okay so I have been raising my first batch of cornish and they are around 7 weeks old. After a nasty spout of Coccidiosis Due to the heat I have been letting them out of their area and roaming around, well originally this was the cows stall and they cows decided they wanted back in during the heat. Well this morning I found one dead with green on it. My first thought is an internal injury like a ruptured intestine due to the cows or something. Your thoughts?

Without a necropsy it's hard to say. At 7 weeks the birds are close to processing age, and they tend to have problems since they grow so fast and get so large. Maybe got stepped on or kicked. Or could have been something else. Very hard to say.
