Lash Egg or Shell-less?

[EmmaO]

Yesterday I noticed my Plymouth Rock acting strange. She's usually very active but was moping around. I looked her over and found something odd stuck to her feathers near her vent (see first picture). I am trying to figure out if this is a lash-egg or just a shell-less egg. Initially I thought shell-less and panicked about calcium. I gave her part of a calcium tablet mixed up in some water.

A few hours later she produced what does look like a typical shell-less egg. She was roosting at the time and it just fell to the floor of the run:

Interested to hear from anyone with experience if you think the first egg was a lash egg or just shell-less. I want to make sure she gets treatment if she needs it. She seemed to feel better this morning and was eating again. I went home for lunch to check on her and she was back in the nesting box, trying to lay again I suppose. Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Shell less egg, she likely had two that weren't passing and made her feel awful.
She should be ok now.
What's her diet?

Looks like two shell-less eggs. (Lash "eggs" are mostly hard pus.) I'd give her a calcium tablet daily until she starts laying normally again.

Thank you both for your replies! That makes me feel better. She’s acting pretty normal now.

Thanks for your reply! I give them Purina Layena which I think has good calcium content? They also have free choice oyster shell, but I switched their litter to straw a few weeks ago and they keep knocking it into the oyster shell container so possibly she didn’t have such ready access to it recently. Still seems like it would have taken longer for this to happen though? A couple weeks ago a hawk got one of the flock and since then they’ve been restricted to their run and chicken tunnels. Maybe it’s stress from losing her all day free ranging?

Thanks for your reply! Makes me feel better that both of you think just shell-less. I will keep giver her calcium in the meantime. She was acting pretty normal this evening - eating and roaming around the yard. Yesterday she wouldn’t even eat mealworms! My grandma always told me when an animal won’t eat their favorite food that’s the end but I’m hoping she’s come through it.
