I found something disturbing in the nest box today. The picture isn't great, because I tried to remove it from the pine shavings before I took the picture. Can someone tell me what it is?? I'm afraid one of my chickens lost an internal organ!
1. egg without shell
2. yellow, fatty looking substance that was right next to the egg
3. thin, tube-y thing that connects to...
4. a pinkish blob
None of my chickens are acting sick or anything, but should I be worried? I have one hen that hasn't laid in months... I wonder if it's hers?

I think she may have been suffering... not sure, but it's hard to tell with chickens sometimes. And since I'm a small backyard farmer and keep chickens solely for the purpose of getting eggs, it wasn't practical to keep her anymore.
