What could be going on with my hen? Weird flesh toned things in her poop

Very sorry for your loss, but I would have the NJ state vet in Trenton perform a necropsy. Cornell also has a good pouktry lab. Here is a link for most state vets:

Yes, I'm sending her to the NJ state lab for it, thanks for making sure I send her to the best place

Authorized by: Matthew Kuhar, VMD, MS, Vet. Pathologist on 01/23/23 Specimen Collected on: 01/21/23 GROSS EXAMINATION A black, female chicken weighing 1649 grams was submitted for necropsy. Post-mortem body condition was fair. Muscle mass was poor with marked concavity of the pectoral muscles due to generalized wasting and there was depletion of visceral fat stores. The plumage was free of external parasites and clean except for mild fecal staining around the vent. The abdomen was firm and distended. The infraorbital sinuses, oral and nasal cavities, and trachea were free of exudate and foreign material. The lungs were mottled pink-red, soft and spongy, and representative sections floated in formalin. The heart was grossly unremarkable. The liver was grey-brown and friable with black discoloration along the edges (post-mortem change). The gall bladder and kidneys were grossly unremarkable. The spleen was gelatinous and grey-black (post-mortem change). The ovary was inactive. The liver, remnant spleen, ventriculus, and intestinal tract were displaced cranially and to the right by the oviduct, which was massively distended by four large, round to oval (up to 10 cm long x 6 cm in cross-sectional diameter) and several smaller pieces of pale yellow-tan, concentrically lamellated, caseous material which together weighed 523 grams. Fibrinous material coated the serosal surfaces of the oviduct and intestinal tract forming adhesions between the oviduct and loops of bowel. The crop contained a moderate amount of yellow-white grain mash and mealworms. The proventriculus was empty and the ventriculus contained a small amount of green-brown, fine, fibrous plant material mixed with grit. The small intestine contained a small amount of green-tan, semi-liquid digesta. The ceca contained a moderate amount of green, pasty digesta. The colon was essentially empty. MACROSCOPICOBSERVATIONS OVIDUCT: massive distention and presumed impaction with a large amount of intraluminal, lamellated, caseous egg material (consistent with lash eggs); COELOMIC CAVTIY: (1) fibrinous coelomitis; (2) craniolateral displacement of the liver, spleen, ventriculus, and intestinal tract. COMMENT Gross examination revealed a female chicken in fair nutritional condition with massive distention and presumed impaction of the oviduct with a large amount (844 grams) of caseous egg material. This is frequently caused by coliform salpingitis. Aerobic bacterial culture of the oviduct is pending. PATHOLOGIST: Matthew Kuhar, VMD, MS, DACVP

Poor girl must have been suffering so much, I feel awful.
