hippy chick Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I think my lame Jean (my lame hen) is starting to lay again. I have put her back outside with the others now that she is walking again. This afternoon i noticed some goo coming out of her bum. It looks like egg white. Just before i noticed the gooey stuff she did a poo it looked like a bit of chewing gum. Could this be a shell less egg. What should i do and should i be worried? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staceychristie Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Try looking here http://club.omlet.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=61617&start=0 Could be a 'lash'. They don't look nice. Good luck Stacey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippy chick Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 Oh thanks for that. Yeah it looked almost exactly like one of those pictures. When i saw the goo oozing out of her bum i thought it was part of an egg . And that she had maybe had a egg break inside her. It did look pretty disgusting . How often do they part with a lash. I have never heard of it before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippy chick Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 Jean has just layed the most disgusting looking thing this afternoon. She had been sat in the NB for ages. Which is unusual cos she hasn't laid in months. I thought she was just feeling off it. When i picked her up a big pink thing fell away from her. It looked like a rubber egg. Yes it was kinda rubbery it seemed to bounce when she dropped it I t was about the size of an egg. of course i was curious so i prodded it and cut it in half to see what it looked like. It had loads of rubbery layers and a purple middle that looked meaty. She does seem perfectly fine though. Think i'll keep an eye on her for a bit though.
