Geriatric chicken pooped this out?

[debbeautiful]

After a few days of struggling, last night my bantam 15 year old chicken Smoky pooped out something oblong, about 3/4 of an inch long and a half inch wide at the fullest part, that looks a lot like a snail shell (it’s not a snail, but it has two pointy ends and a little bit of a rotational spiral shape). It is pinkish yellow in color. It could be an ancient malformed egg, or it could be something else like a parasite cyst.

Now that she’s pooped that out, she’s acting normal again.

I should mention she’s been indoors in an enclosed space since last October, so it’s nothing she has eaten recently. (She has been indoors due to her age- she is unable to regulate her body temperature anymore).

Anyone seen anything like this before?

Can you cut it in half? It may be a lash egg, which is due to salpingitis (inflammation of the oviduct.)

Ugh- I should, but I think I would barf if I tried.

It would help us to determine if it is lash material. Here is an article about lash material and it can be tiny pieces or large egg shaped objects:
