Beantree Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 It looked huge, until I saw the end of the key, so I would say yes. To be sure cut it in half. It should be the same creamy layered material all through, although the few I've seen were paler in colour. Perhaps there is a yolk inside?

mullethunter Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 It was in my mums chicken coop. She said it had several layers of rubbery stuff and then some liquid inside and was the size of a large egg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beantree Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 The rubbery stuff is the lash; layers of shed oviduct lining. Perhaps the liquid was egg white? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 Yes I think that’s quite likely Beantree. Thankyou. From what I’ve read it’s probably caused by some sort of infection but not necessarily cause for concern. Would that be your thoughts?

Yep, I wouldn't worry unduly about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
