I'm new to keeping chickens and my hens are one year now. I have a CA white leghorn who hasn’t laid an egg in 6 months. She really only laid for about 2 months and then stopped. I’ve tried different feed, and adding oyster shell, and a prebiotic and electrolyte supplement and nothing changed. For months she’s seemed normal other than not laying. Now she seems aloof, and lethargic. I’ve noticed this for about 2-3 weeks. She sometimes doesn’t roost and will just settle down in the hen house bedding. I’m not sure if that means anything or not. Ive had to clean her vent area a few times recently. Twice I’ve noticed weird stuff near her droppings, and im pretty confident it’s her. It’s light brown, and kind of jelly-like. Is it poop or some sort of “egg”? It’s kinda gross but I’ll attach a picture. I’ve tried looking it up but I’m not finding anything like it.
