That looks like a lash egg, sadly I know about them all too well since I had a Ben pass away from one. You're very lucky she got it out!

Lash egg. Cut it open, it's a bundle of pus and reproductive system debris. In most cases it's a sign of infection and the prognosis is usually not good, sorry to say. Start her on antibiotics immediately. Certain infections can be controlled or cured, stuff like salpingitis is mostly deadly. Since we don't know what it is broad spectrum antibiotics are a must.

There are a small number of cases where a hen will have a lash egg and then have no ill effects, but considering your hen hasn't been well it more likely a serious issue.

How old is she? Does she normally lay eggs, and have the shells all been hard? Lash eggs are a product of salpingitis or inflammation of the oviduct. They can be laid internally into the abdomen or passed through the vent, and consist of coagulated layers of egg material. It can be common in hens over 2 years old. Antibiotics such as amoxicillin or enrofloxacin are sometimes used to treat it, but it may or may not help. Enrofloxacin 10% liquid dosage may be purchased from Jedds.com. Dosage is 0.1 ml per pound twice a day for 5 days.

From her history of starting to lay eggs later, and then stopping for so long until laying this lash egg, she probably has salpingitis. It is responsible for her not laying normally. Here is a good article about that:
