I have an ameracauna hen that is 2 yrs old. She has been sitting in the nesting box frequently and I took her inside. Since she’s been in she’s pooped out a weird jelly bean fleshy looking thing with feces. The next day when I went to check on her it looked like she layed a disformes shell that looked like it had nothing in it. She seems like she’s doing fine for the most part but keeps having these weird occurances. Prior to that I found a weird nodule looking thing next to an egg yolk in the nesting box but I don’t know if it was the same hen. I left it overnight to grab it in the morning but it disappeared. I am assuming someone ate it. I was thinking that the thing in the nest box was a lash egg but the others are kind of weird. I am kind of thinking it may be a bacterial infection of some sorts? I am trying to get into the vet but was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and has any solutions.

She has a reproductive infection, you can try antibiotics but she may be too far gone. By the time symptoms show, there not a lot of time left.
 
Lash material is infection. To confirm it's lash, cut into it. If the slices are cheese-like, that confirms you're dealing with pus from reproductive infection. The other objects could be verified similarly. If they are more thin tissue or membrane-like, they can be tissue from the oviduct which accumulate and then detach. This can be caused by inflammation of the oviduct from infection.

You can try an antibiotic. Since your hen is still on the young side, it may be early enough in the infection that it can be treated. https://www.kvsupply.com/item/aqua-mox-250mg-capsules-100-count/P06184 One of these per day given directly into the beak for ten days.

I didn’t get a chance to slice open the one in the nesting box but I cut the jelly bean looking one and it seemed like tissue. Thanks for the suggestion, I am hoping I can find that in my rural town or can order it in time.
