Something coming out of my chickens vent....

I agree .. that looks like a possible soft shell which has broken. I have a hen who lays a couple of soft shells when she is moulting and on two occasions they have broken inside her.

I have found with her that she usually manages to deposit the remainder of the soft shell when relaxed on the roost overnight.

As you are doing, keep an eye on her just in case infection sets in.
 
Hello everyone! I just went outside to let my chickens out and I noticed something hanging from one hens vent. It's quite long, about 4-6 inches. The bottom is dark I think because it has been touching the dirt and mud. However, the part closest to her vent is a color between a creamy yellow and white. She doesn't seem very comfortable, as she's only walking upright and doesn't seem to be able to crouch down. Does anyone know what this is or what happened?

My baby chick, she is due to start laying soon, but she just did the same thing. Let me know the result.
