Hen layed an egg inside a sack??

[Raysal]

I was cleaning the coop when my Amerucana layed her egg i saw the egg kimda wierd she layed the egg and there was a long strip coming out of her vent with the sack and the egg inside the sack. I when she was walking the string came out with yolk at the end. I checked her vent after amd it was clean anyone know why?

Looks like she laid an egg inside a softshelled, malformed egg. Hopefully just a glitch and things will return to normal. If she seems to be feeling OK, I'd just keep an eye on her for a bit, see how the next few eggs go. Often this is just a one time thing.

Something like that happened to my sisters chicken, here is a link to the post https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/really-weird-egg-what-is-it-please-help.1388118/ the chicken was fine after.

I agree with coach.

You think the egg is still edible?

It may be! I'd crack it and look. When ready to use it, crack it into a small bowl first to have a look. If it's normal sized then it may be normal inside. Sometimes if they are smaller than normal it may not have a yolk, or have a odd yolk. If it looks OK, then it's very likely fine. I would use it.

It’s a soft shell egg. Hopefully it’s a glitch but if he continue to see them it could be a sign she isn’t receive sufficient calcium or has a defective shell gland.

Good luck!

Shelled egg backed up and got re-membraned.
Counter peristalsis.
