Is this a lash egg?

She had a pretty severe wry tail, and always had calcium absorption issues, so she was light weight and her eggs had thin shells. Considering that, she had a very long, good life. Here's a top view so you can see the wry tail. She was also very light weight, never more than about 4 lbs, our other Columbian Wyandotte hens are mostly 6 to 6-1/2 lbs.

Since her bone structure is unusual, I'm donating her to the bird bone project at the Field Museum of Natural History, taking her there shortly.

So sorry for your loss. She was a beauty. I used to not do necropsies on my birds, but after losing a few to suspected reproductive disorders, i started doing some and learning what was going on inside their abdomens.

Oh, she did have Wry Tail! I agree, considering everything you have described she did have a long, good life and most importantly, I know she was loved.

That is very interesting about donating her to the Field Museum of Natural History, very fitting.
