Very weird thing my chicken laid (?)

[lillyahoo]

I have a Novagen hen around 4 years old who yesterday was looking a bit droopy and lagging behind the flock.
I brought her in, gave her calcium and water with electrolytes and left her in the "sick chick" crate indoors overnight.
This morning, THIS thing was in the crate. What the heck is it?
It was not in a pile of poop, but just sitting by itself, so I assume it came from her cloaca?
It's around 2" long and looks exactly like a piece of cooked chicken that's just slightly underdone inside!

It's a lash egg.

I had no idea what that was until I just looked it up.
Sounds serious.
Does anyone have any remedies I could try?

It's an infection, so antibiotics is gonna need to be used. I can tag a few people who knows what to use for this type of thing.

It looks like lash material which is Salpingitis, an inflammation of the oviduct.
If caught early, supportive care and treatment with antibiotics may be helpful.
Amoxicillin is commonly used. Some use Baytril, just do your research on the medications, read up on the condition and determine what course of action you may want to take, if any.
