Sooo much pooping

[LinC]

Help required please. Annie, my 3 year old hen laid eggs beautifully up until last May when she suddenly stopped. She didn't appear to go broody and other than lack of eggs she seemed perfectly normal. Since last May she has every 2 or 3 months laid a strange shaped rubbery egg. When slided in half it is solid and appears to have several mini yolks (as though cooked in consistency) within it. There is no shell.

 

I am at a loss as to know whether she has simply given up laying eggs or whether there is something wrong with her - it doesn't appear to be a serious health defect as she runs about normally.

 

Thanks in advance.

It is what is known as a 'lash' although heaven knows why.
