We have a flock of 1-4 year old mixed-breed hens. I found this is the coop this morning, under the roosts. I thought it was a deformed egg, but the outside was leathery so I cut it open. It looks like a gizzard to me! The girls are all acting fine, they are confined to a fully enclosed coop/run, and I haven't give any meat to them outside of a few bits of leftover meatloaf.

(We do have one hen who doesn't lay regularly - we just get a 'wind' egg from her from time to time, and we have another who had prolapse, but she's back to normal laying of BIG eggs.)

Thanks! Yes, that looks like what it is. I'm off to investigate now that I've put a name to it!
