My hen is passing tissue?

[Two Birds One Stone Farm]

Just went to collect my eggs this morning and I have a hen in the nest who is passing this.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

I'm not an expert, but it may be coccidiosis. I would wait for someone more experienced to answer as well. If you'd like, a fecal test could confirm what it is. Medications can be given to the whole flock and can even be bought at tractor supply. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/c...eating-and-preventing-coccidiosis-in-chickens

Can you cut it open? That looks like what is called lash egg material, a result of salpingitis infection in the oviduct. Antibiotics may or may not help. Here is some reading about it:

Thank you so much! I didn't cut it open, and after reading about it I think this is what's going on... For the most part she seems fine, but I have noticed her keeping to herself lately so we're keeping a close eye on her.
