Not sure if this is the right thread but I have a 1.5yr old orpington who has been egg bound a few times in the last couple weeks. Twice after soaking she has dropped a regular hard shelled egg within what i can only guess is a shell less egg white. She has had some odd shaped eggs the last several months and we found a lash egg under the roost almost a month ago we suspect was from her. We thought Salpingitis so we started her on amoxicillin (we are halfway through). Tonight was the 2nd time she dropped the hard egg within the shell less egg. My question is, are we are the right track with amoxicillin? Or should we be using something like enro? Or is this something else completely causing these egg issues?
 
Can you post a picture of this unusual egg? And if you get any more lash material, post that too. Post it intact then cut it in half and post what the inside looks like. Wear gloves when handling any possible lash material as it is infection.
 
Here is the egg from tonight. You can see its a hard shelled egg. That film that is around the hard egg did contain egg white but it all leaked out. The egg from 2 weeks ago was the same thing. She has had 2 semi regular eggs after (a little off color and had calcium deposits) then this one tonight. We are going to dissect the hard egg tomorrow when we have some daylight.

We broke the egg open today and its just a normal egg.
 
I wanted to see it intact, inside the soft shell, but that's okay.
I attached a picture on one of my previous comments of the hard shelled egg inside what was left of the shell less egg. We had it in a zip lock bag. The shell less egg broke so the fluid was out. But you can see the hard egg with the film from the shell less egg around it still.
