Kidney in nesting box???

[Becky46]

Went to collect eggs and along with a few eggs in a nesting box was what looked to be a creamy green colored kidney bean. I thought surely it wasn’t an actual kidney but upon further inspection I am pretty sure that’s what it is. All of my chickens are accounted for and acting fine. There was no blood or anything. Just eggs and that. Anyone have an idea?

That appears to be a lash egg, the caseous material produced by salpingitis, an inflammation of the oviduct.

Here are some articles about salpingitis and lash eggs:

Sorry to say Its a lash egg I think.

Just wanted to update y’all. I have no idea if it was truly a lash egg. I put probiotics and electrolytes in their water. I have not seen another one of those or had a chicken that died.
