Hi,
My chicken has not been laying for a few days and I noticed the other chickens where after her bum they pecked her and made her bleed. So I grabbed her and put her by herself to rest. I thought she was egg bound which I can usually sort out but having gone to her nest box today there was this huge lump laying there which is solid flesh with like a yellow tube attached to it which looks like she has cut it off. Needless to say I thought this was gross and nearly threw up. I have taken a picture of it from both sides but not sure how to upload it. I am guessing this is a growth of some kind?? She seems okay she is eating and drinking and walking around as normal.
Any advice would be great.
I am thinking if it is a growth it will probably come back?
 
Managed to get the pictures uploaded.x Oh the size of the lump is approx 2inch x 1inch

How old is she? It certainly looks like a diseased ovary. Possible the ligaments dissolved and freed it up to be passed. Can you cut it open and post some more pictures? Maybe put a quarter next to it for scale.

I have heard that sometimes a hen will pass a bit of their intestines that sort of "sluff off", but that thing is HUGE! I hope somebody comes along to identify it.......and I had thought I'd seen it ALL!

Poor gal! Maybe she'll be fine.....Best wishes to her!
 
We recently lost a hen about 2 weeks after she passed something like that. I have since read that they can have reproductive issues that are terminal and one cannot treat it. However, I ALSO read that they can get infections as a result of those issues. I wish I had tried isolating my hen & giving her antibiotics.

Keep an eye on your girl!

Thank you for your replies. My hen is about 2 half years old (hybrid type). I will keep an eye on her and see what happens. Sorry about the gross picture but I could not believe it. Not sure about cutting it in half to look at the contents Catstar68 don't know if my stomach would take it:sick
I have put it in the bin for now so my hubby did not see it as he would probably be sick, due to the fact he has a raging tooth ache at the moment.
If I get brave I will have another look at it tomorrow (maybe).
 
It's like a horror flick. I'm totally grossed out but I can't stop looking at it. Where are you located? Maybe one of us with a strong stomach can cut it open. Maybe not.
Does it smell?
I'm completely amazed.

Try this website, but not right after eating: http://partnersah.vet.cornell.edu/avian-atlas/search/lesion/387
I think you should be able to search around for other pics that might more closely resemble that "thing".
I agree that it looks like a diseased ovary, but how the heck do they pass them?

I have put a golf tee next to it to show the size.

Does this look like an ovary to you? I would say no????
