Found this in the nesting box. All of my chickens are acting fine. I think I know who laid it. Is this a lash egg? Or…?! Is there anything I need to do? Thank you so much for your help!
1st pic is how I found it.
2nd pic is when I dumped it to see all the junk 🥴

Yesterday my hen was acting off and had what looked like egg membrane and white hanging from her back end. I soaked her in Epsom salt a while, and 12 hours later soaked her again and was able to gently pull this from her chloacha. Eating and drinking are only slightly improved. Has moments she...
I have 15 chickens, 12 of them are ALMOST 2 years old (DOB 3/2023).
Of course, it’s December, some are molting, etc etc so I have only been getting about 1 egg a day.
Tonight I found an “egg” inside a box. It looks like chewed gum or deflated balloon…
Is it just a weird egg thing? It’s not a...
Hello!
So long story short, I went to lock my Chooks up this evening I noticed this blob in their nest box, i'm a bit nervous, because I've heard horror stories regarding "lash" eggs, I'm hoping it's just a soft shelled egg instead.

Hey, I've got a Lavender Orpington hen of ~4 years old (weighs 6.4 lbs - nice and lovely feathers) that was standing away from our flock yesterday - tail down and moving slowly. We brought her home to watch for her intake of water (I added electrolytes) and have grit available.
She hasn't laid...
Hello -
We found this today - we have a mixed flock of all hens - three are 2+ years old and four are 9 months old. No smell.
The three 2 year olds - americuanas never have really laid since we adopted them for retirement. Maybe a dozen over the course of a year. Debbie - the Buff Orp lays...
Hello everyone, my baby gal is finally of age to lay eggs. She had her first egg yesterday (at time of writing this) along with something else.
The day before yesterday I noticed slight tail pumping along with slight heavy breath taking. I was worried she was egg bound or having troubles, so I...
