*GROSS PICTURE* Found this in coop!

[abbeymc]

Please help! I found this in my coop, it looks like a cocktail sausage! What is it?! I have 4 hens and one is currently moulting as it is nearly winter time in the UK, does it have anything to do with this?

I don't know what that is but I do know that chickens shed their intestinal tracks when the sleep and this thing appears to have fat-like things in it so I think the intestinal track just shed.

I would think that this is some product of the reproductive tract from an internal layer. Here is a collection of similar pictures: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...scites-and-eyp-very-graphic-necropsy-pictures
