Hey! Does anyone know what this is? Found it next to my eggs today. It’s not poop. It has a fleshy texture like an intestine or something.

Thanks!
Rob

Looks kinda like an (immature) egg membrane.. could be a new or returning layer hiccup..

But cut it open and make sure it doesn't look like cooked egg inside.. which would then be considered a "lash" egg and symptom of reproductive infection.

Here is a good description of many of the things that can go awry and their possible causes.. though it doesn't look like it includes yours exactly.. but the video might still be informative.
