My chicken ate a mouse and... *update*

[Moochie]

2 days ago as I was giving scratch to my flock and I looked at one of the hens and she was eating a mouse. She was ripping it apart, eating everything, all that was left was the pelt.
This isn't the first time my chickens have caught a mouse and had a feeding frenzy over it so I wasn't that worried. They have also eaten lizards too. This is just the first time I've seen bloody poop. It's really runny and the color of red wine, or burgundy. I was shocked to see it, and I checked all the girls' rear ends to see if any signs of blood on their feathers or cloaca. I didn't find anything, but I'm worried.
What's going on? I know it's most likely internal bleeding but from what? Is her gizzard not crushing things good enough? What can I do to help her?
I don't know of any vets around here that take in chickens either.
She's also laying fine, no blood on the eggs she produces.
It was pomegranite! I did a little expiriment, I fed them pomegranite seeds again yesterday and this morning I found the same poop that I thought was blood.
Thank goodness. What I was reading about this protozoa made me think she would have died by now.

Uh, Mine eat mice and they never had bloody poop, I would treat with Corid, it may not be from the mouse

what is corid? do they sell it at feed shops?

Amprolium is a corid, which means it stops coccidiosis.

Botulism can come from dead critters, but I don't think bloody stool is a symptom. It is a symptom of coccidiosis though.

i am a noob when it comes to diseases and what not, what is coccidiosis? and his corid, i feed it to her?

 

[jerseygirl1]

Coccidiosis is found in soil, usually after it rains. All hens have it and have built up a tolerance to it to SOME DEGREE. Corid contains Amprolium, which is used to treat coccidiosis.
Corid is either powder or liquid, the dosage is on another thread here, I think powder right now is one teaspoon per gallon of water for five days.

Search for coccidiosis or cocci and also check other new posts for today in this forum--someone else just posted about this with the information about the medicine.
