HELP, Lash egg? Infection?

[Chicken poppy]

I need some great guidance. This has been happening for a while now and i never got to making a thread about it.

(A few chickens were diagnosed with mareks, so this might be involved. I already expected to loose my flock but all these chickens seemed to overcome it so far anyway and are very hardy as it seems.)

Well, i’ll just get to the point. I will attach multiple photos as i find them in my camera roll but here is one that JUST happened from my easter egger

(in the poop) The clearness is like egg whites but seems to be more jiggly, and the big orb was very yolk like except MUCH more durable when squeezed. Then random fleshy chunks.

Every day now my chickens (though really just one, the other seems to only follow) attempt to lay eggs! But doesn’t work, my sex link goes CRAZY to get in the house, pacing, screaming, you name it. She runs up my stairs from my door, goes into the room, jumps on the chair, often does an egg song then nothing. This sometimes happens twice or more in a day. Finally she laid a wrinkly shriveled egg (like a raisen) then nothing for weeks, then a normal egg, then nothing again!

I have found very strange eggy matter and what looks like a lash egg in my yard so i hope they are ok... @Wyorp Rock @Eggcessive, help please?

That does look like small lash material. You could try to cut the pink things open. Salpingitis or inflammation of the oviduct causes the lash egg material. She may have some infection. I had a hen who was laying internally, I think, and she would go into the nest box every other day, stay for an hour, and then do an egg song and go outside, but there was never an egg. I had infectious bronchitis virus in my flock when they were about 2 years old, and many had reproductive problems after recovery.

@Eggcessive would an antibiotic be worth using? if so which one. I haven't ever had this in my flock so not sure what antibiotic would be beneficial.

 

[Eggcessive]

Some use amoxicillin or even enrofloxacin, but antibiotics may or may not help once lash material is seen. Antibiotics are only available as on June from a vet prescription, or online for pigeons or fish. Amoxicillin dosage is 50 mg per pound given orally twice a day for 7-10 days. Enrofloxacin 10% dosage is 0.05 ml per pound given orally twice a day for 5 days. Amoxicillin has. 7 days egg withdrawal while enro has longer egg withdrawal,

You can try treating with an antibiotic as @Eggcessive has suggested to see if that helps.

Thank you all so much! Ok, i had someone who is a avian vet come take a look and she palpated and felt around in there. She said they were very, very fatty and that might have been spiraling to other issues such as not laying and coming out in the feces, she said she would give me a diet plan and we will see how they go from there. If this seems to not be the cause when the fats gone (i hope it is just fat being the issue) then i will do what you all have suggested, thanks again.
