This morning my Red Bourbon hen was walking around with this hanging out of her rear end , she looks fine , WHAT IS IT??


She passed it and I picked it up, almost looks like some lining???? She has been laying eggs, but didn't yesterday, at least I can't find it.

Hmm... I'm not sure, but I have read about chickens "shedding" some of the lining of their oviduct. I guess it can happen to turkeys, too.

It appears to be soft-shell from an undeveloped egg.

It's possible the yolk/whites could be inside her if you didnt see any excreted. Your concern would be a bacterial infection. You might consider a vinegar/water flush, like a douche.
Use a large syringe without a needle, mixing 1 tablespoon of WHITE vinegar to 1 quart of water. Use a full syringe of the mixture and insert it into her vent and slowly flush, dont squirt it in full force. Use about 4-5 syringefuls, the liquid may or may not flow from her vent afterwards, that is normal. This will prevent bacterial infection.
