Hen laying clumps of shells

Just found one… this one looks more like possibly a lash egg..

I feed mine their own egg shells after baking them. They like them better than oyster shells

When the Educators respond to threads about lash eggs, they usually ask that they be cut open and photographed. That does look like lash material. I'll let @Eggcessive respond and talk to you about it, she's far more knowledgeable than I.

It would be good to cut it in half and take another picture. It looks like possible lash material and shell.

I noticed that after looking at some other threads… unfortunately I had already thrown it out. It was muck inside.. nothing firm… there was some white that was kind of like cooked egg white.. a piece the size of a nickel…it was mucky tho

I believe my flock contracted infectious bronchitis from some day old chicks I brought in for my broody I lost 2 of the 4 chicks to the respiratory issue and quite a few of my flock started coughing sneezing runny noses and had hoarse voices for a couple days before I got it under control. Everyone got over the respiratory issues but my egg production plummeted and now that they’ve started laying again many of them have misshapen eggs. Have never experienced that before

The easiest way to spread diseases is visiting other peoples chicken coops and wearing the same shoes in your coop. I would definitely recommend you stick to buying hatchery chicks in the future so you don't buy anymore sick chicks.You could also buy fertile eggs and hatch your own if you're brave.
