My hen has pooped out 2 of these today. Should I be worried!?

[Larouxbestfan]

My hen has been weak and lethargic for the last 3 or 4 days.
She either lays on her side in one spot all day, or she'll stand up like a penguin. I found her outside the coop a couple days ago, leaning against a cinder block, and she's been in my room ever since.
She spent her entire day yesterday hidden under my bed in the darkness for some reason.
She eats and drinks just fine, but she barely stands or walks anywhere. She doesn't seem to be getting worse but I have no idea what's wrong or how to help her.
Today she's pooped out two of these lumps with her poop and I have absolutely no idea what they are. They're kinda soft and tan coloured.
I'm thinking that maybe she's egg bound?

Yes, that is lash egg material, which is a symptom of salpingitis. You need to get her on an antibiotic right away. Calcium therapy can help her expel the lash eggs, too. Sorry.

I recently treated a hen who seemed to have an oviduct infection with amoxycillin, but I'm not totally sure if it's the best antibiotic. It worked for her, however. I also had her on ibuprofen for inflammation and pain, as she was acting VERY sick and had a strange stance, that I think was from pain.

I know that last post of mine doesn't have all the information you need, but I am confident in the diagnosis of salpingitis. As far as treatment, I would need to do some research on the proper meds and dosing to help you.

That is a lash egg or caseous material from salpingitis, inflammation of the oviduct. It may or may not lead to egg yolk peritonitis. Here is some reading:

I think it’s lash egg she needs more calcium if you can’t get oyster shells crake some eggs and crush up the shell and mix it in with her food.

I appreciate your help! I'll look more into that.
