Chicken pooped out Something strange looking

[1 Farm Girl]

Does anyone know what my chicken pooped out? She has been sick not eating, laying, tail down for about 5 days, off to her own corner. also had a small cyst above the eye for more than a year. Thinking she may have been impacted but not sure. Her belly was not really large. I cut it in half so you can see better.
I end up putting her down as I did not want her to waste away...poor 'Toasty' girl, I miss her.

I believe it's called a lash egg. Which is basically a chunk of infection. Generally caused by salpingitis, which is an infection of the oviduct.

oldhens is correct.

Wow, thank you very much

As far as culling, I think that was the best decision too. Better a quick death, than a slow lingering one. I miss everyone that goes, no matter how they go.

So sorry about Toasty girl. Yes, definitely a lash egg.

I'm very sorry for your loss. Honestly you did the right thing. It was most likely either caused by salpingitis or internal laying and both are basically terminal and can have very similar symptoms. I'm going to give you a link to an informative video that was just recently posted by speckledhen in regards to exactly this. It starts out with some graphic photos, then is explanation.
