Never seen anything like this. Thought I'd post and see if anyone knows what this is. One of our girls pooped this larvae out. We watched her do it since we were talking about her. We did save it and its bagged.

Since you saw her poop the maggot out, your hen has a serious problem. It's called Fly Strike. Closely inspect her vent and area around the vent for any lesions, cuts, injuries, caked feces in fluff and feathers that contain maggots and remove them.
