Is this a lash egg?

[z3lda3]

Cracker, my legbar is a year old. She lays every other day. The last time she laid, a few days ago it was a shell-less egg. Today she laid this. She’s acting completely normal, eating drinking, she’s active. If this is a lash egg, what do I do as far as bio security with the other hens?

Do you still have it? Can you cut it in half and see what it's like inside? If so, please post pics. Let's have @Eggcessive look at it. What is its texture/ consistency? Is it hard, firm? Like styrofoam?

(I can not tell you how much I did not like doing that.) um so it looks slimy, and it feels like firm jello in a deflated balloon. Kind of squishy/firm. It doesn’t have a smell, I didn’t want to put my face too close, but it smelled like..egg. Definitely does not look like one though.

It does appear to be a lash egg, which is due to salpingitis (inflammation of the oviduct.) The lash material can develop inside the abdominal cavity when an egg goes in reverse back into the oviduct. Those bits of egg material can become layered and form large masses over the years. Early in the disease, antibiotics may help. Here is some reading about salpingitis:
