A button is the thing that attaches the egg to the uterine wall. There are many of these and they pull away as labor and delivery happen. Sounds to me like she had not cleaned all the way out the other day. GOOD thing you checked though. A few hours can make a big difference in the health of your animal!
OK, now what's an egg? (in this context)
OK Fertilization 101(the clean version)........the egg from the females ovary passes down the fallopian tube to the uterus, which is fertilized by the male's sperm and then attaches(via buttons) to the uterine wall. (yes ladies, we have buttons too!!!) If it is not fertilized, then it is shed/released through our normal monthly cycle. After we give birth, the placenta is released(the buttons give way) and is expelled! See goat picture above! It is the same with goats, cattle, dogs, horses, sheep, any mamal. Chicken eggs just do it all inside the protective shell!!
Ok I tried to keep it clean guys. Does that make sense.
And yes, KSACRES, you are right!!!!
