I agree that it could be lash material from salpingitis infection. Good advice from Wyorp Rock to try calcium, in case it is membrane. Salpingitis can be common in hens over 2-3 and an antibiotic might help prolong life.

I have not seen anything like that again and all my chickens are acting normal and healthy. If that was a lash egg, should I have noticed someone ill or dead by now?
Thank you. I am willing to try antibiotics if needed. Unfortunately, I don’t know which of my 12 chickens it came from. Do I treat the whole flock and throw all their eggs out?I have had several hens with reproductive disorders, confirmed on necropsy after death. But I have never seen a lash egg from my hens. Many times they are eaten before they are seen. I would probably give the fish mox since it won’t hurt her. Just toss out her eggs for at least 2 weeks after completion. But it is up to you whether to treat her or not. Many people don’t like to use antibiotics without a vet, so that is understandable.
No, I would try to narrow it down who might be having the problem. Check on them during the day to see who is laying, and check for more unusual droppings. Unnecessary antibiotics are not good for chickens, and I would only treat the one with problems. It is better to not treat her, than to treat the whole flock.Thank you.
