I found this thing in my coop tonight. I don't know what it is. Could be poo.. could be egg thing (??) I don't know. But I'm super nervous. Never ever seen nothing like it.. it had a weird smell when I cut it open. And was kind of tough like cutting into Play-Doh with a butter knife but a little tougher. The outside of it is like a rusty color like powdery type substance. I don't think it's blood but could be. Looks like someone rolled a small glob of cookie dough in cinnamon..
ETA-- I did find a soft shell egg that was busted as well. Can't pinpoint which one it was for sure. They all lay in the same place (their choice. Plenty of other nesting boxes/areas) so it's hard to tell who it is.. the only one who seems off is my legbar.. she lays green/olive eggs and either hasn't been laying or found a really good hiding spot. This soft shell was a brown egg.
So I checked again when I opened the coop. There was a little clump thing that is laying where the soft shell was dropped. And I took better pics of the blob thing again.
