So it's been 15 days since my hen had crop surgery.
She stopped her antibiotic treatment a week ago.
Her crop is empty in the mornings and she's been having regular normal poops again.
I thought she might be recovering finally but this morning I found in her bedding this long strip of something.
I thought at first she expelled an intestine, really scared me for a second.
I've been doing some research and think it might be lash egg? What do you think?

It's hard, not as hard as an egg but I can squish it a bit but then the shape returns.

Sorry, I'm not very good at this. 😔
Thankyou for the articles. Im still not sure what I'm going to do with her though. Because she has been on antibiotics already for over a week and then this has happened, I don't know if putting her on them again will treat it or not?
She already hasn't been laying eggs for a long time prior to getting sick so im a bit stumped with what to do with her
 
Maybe the antibiotics helped her to pass it? Just guessing but I know usually a course of antibiotics for a human is at least 10 days. I think you should keep her on it till you hear from some of the Educators, like @Wyorp Rock , @Eggcessive , @azygous, @coach723 , @ChickenCanoe
 
She was taking antibiotics for 7 days after the surgery and has been off it for the past 8 days. So I should start her on it again?
