    Help weird chicken poop! (Graphic)

    Hi, I have seen them before, if they are indeed gummy, but mine are usually "curled up" in a ball. I know because when I got two, I cut them open! Weird stuff, man.

    Has anyone seen these before?

    Thank you I figured that was the case I have one BR that hasn't layed for a year, I believe the other is doing the same! The girls will be three this spring so... just wish someone else would put a shell on her egg also! Yuck!
