Was the beetle dead or alive? Can you post a pic?

Darkling beetles (not meal worm beetles) can reside under the foundations around coops and runs, and they sometimes carry bacteria that can make a chicken sick if they eat them. Look well around your run, under objects, etc, to see if you have an infestation.

it was dead, I grabbed it, but then couldn’t find it again.

I’m getting runny poop like this, and I found this bug in it, although it was sitting there for about 10 minutes.

The first one did look like a darkling beetle from what I’ve seen on the internet, but about a centimeter long. I looked around and could not find anymore though.

This isn’t blood, is it?

 

[azygous]

That's a bit of intestinal lining. You can tell for sure by dropping some peroxide on it. If it fizzes it's blood. Tissue doesn't fizz.

Her poop is not normal. But beyond that, I can't read anything into it that might indicate what's wrong.

Sorry, I’m just a little paranoid. I guess we’ll just continue with the corid and then a dewormer.

Just to be clear, which did you do first? Put corid in the water, or collect the poop sample?

We collected poop then put the corid in. I tried to get different samples of poop from all over the coop and run, however I did not get any runny poop as there was not any in the run when we had to rush to the vet.
