I am hoping it’s not, but I found this in the nest box a little while ago. I have 8 laying hens almost 2 years old. One of my Isa Browns definitely laid a lash egg in February, I posted pics here, but other than her not laying at all, she is otherwise acting normal. If it is her that laid this rubbery glob, does that mean the infection is still there? This one is much smaller (It’s the Altoid mini box next to it)

than the other one, so maybe it’s a fluke?

Looks like Lash egg to me.
Did you read the links that were provided in your other thread?
Yes, the infection/condition would still be there.

No I didn’t. She has been eating, drinking, foraging and keeping up fine with all of her flock mates. Some of the literature I read said the inflammation could resolve on its own. At this point I’m not 100% positive it was her.
So she's not acting sick at all...I think I would just watch and see how it goes then.
Some people do treat for infection if they are sure which hen, but if you question it, then I wouldn't treat either.
