Weird egg?

[jdeppe02]

I recently acquired 5 hens from a man who no longer wanted them. That should have been a red flag , but I'm a sucker for a chicken in need . These hens are separate from my main flock on quarantine. I got two normal eggs then this one weird egg thing . Any thoughts on what it is ?

I could be wrong but looks like a lash egg.

"Lash eggs aren’t really eggs. They are the result of the oviduct infection salpingitis, the most common cause of death in laying hens. The immune system reacts to inflammation by trying to wall off the infection with a waxy, yellowish, cheeselike pus that may or may not contain yolk, albumen, eggshell, egg membrane, blood or bits of tissue from the oviduct wall, but it’s primarily a yellowish, cheesy, pus ball. This is an ominous sign of a very serious infection that most hens don’t recover from." (Hobby Farms)

My sweetest hen ever started laying lash eggs. There was nothing I could do for her. :-(
